The “Carbon Peak, Carbon Neutrality” vision emphasizes the urgency of adopting sustainable practices. This study primarily stresses on how China’s agricultural waste can be managed for long-term environmental sustainability and energy development. This study presents novel techniques for power generation from biogas and utilizes environmental enzyme technology to recycle agricultural waste, therefore fostering low-carbon development and facilitating green energy transitions. A PEST approach examines the social, economic, political, and technical factors that impact the utilization of agricultural waste resources, while a prototype value-added reuse system is built to demonstrate practical applications. Feasibility studies back up the proposed methods with evidence from a SWOT analysis. Furthermore, a systematic questionnaire survey assesses public knowledge and behavior about the reusing of agricultural waste, thereby offering information on society’s preparedness for implementing these technologies. The results highlight the possibilities of waste crop recycling technology to stimulate industrial activities, especially in the manufacturing of bio-based products fit for national carbon neutrality targets. This study emphasizes the need to include agricultural waste recycling into changes towards sustainable energy. Its encouragement of the invention of green energy solutions helps the study to offer an insightful analysis for the progress of carbon neutrality initiatives.
