667501 – GreenLight – Cost effective lignin-based carbon fibres for innovative light-weight applications 16

Cost effective lignin-based carbon fibres for innovative light-weight applications


Overview

The overall objective of GreenLight is to develop a new biobased, renewable andeconomically viable carbon fibre precursor “lignin”. The lignin (sourced from pulpmills) is a green, sustainable, abundant and cost-efficient new carbon fibre precursor.Within the GreenLight project the aim is to produce a cost-effective biobased carbonfibre for use as a reinforcement in polymer composite materials.


Cost reduction – current state of the art

• Textile grade PAN fiber: solution spun

• Alternative conversion and large scale tow processing

• Another synthetic polymer, e.g. PE

• Lignin / cellulose blends: similar to Rayon CF

• By replacing it with melt spun LIGNIN … but it has 50% lower cost

Costs of PAN carbon fibre

20 Euro/kg: low due to current crude oilprice

Precursor:Is considered to be the fibre used tomake the CF, not the original polymer –the filament spinning process isimportant
