This work is devoted to innovative ways to use the resource potential of wetlands in the transboundary territories of the Lower Amur region. Unlike the traditional large-scale production of consumer goods in the form of peat substrates and organic fertilizers, it is proposed to focus on high-tech aspects of processing rapidly renewable (liquid peat phase and sphagnum mosses) marsh resources. In the near future, this approach will make it possible to establish environmentally friendly production in the region not only of carbon nanotubes, which are in great demand on the market, but also of effective sorption materials, as well as therapeutic and therapeutic and prophylactic drugs for treating a wide range of diseases. At the same time, the proposed synthesis of carbon nanotubes from natural organic raw materials is more preferable from an ecological point of view than traditional cytotoxic methods of graphite cleavage. Special focus is given to the liquid phase of peat, which has amphiphilic properties. This feature of drainage marsh waters with dissolved carbon of humic substances allows them to be used in the production of a wide range of foaming and cosmetic products. Along with this, it is shown that, during the evaporation of the liquid phase of peat deposited on the surface of a number of materials, dendro-shaped fractal structures are formed, which, under the influence of a constant electric field, form carbon nanowires for microelectronics. This publication presents data from studies carried out over the past decade on the subject of grants from the government of Khabarovsk krai and the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in accordance with research programs of the Institute of Water and Environmental Problems, Far East Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. Research priorities are registered with 20 patents of the Russian Federation and tested at the main international innovation salons and exhibitions of the Republic of Korea, China, and Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg).
