Today, the demand for carbon fibre is mainly limited by the high cost. As a result, the material is currently primarily used in products where performance is more important than price. By introducing a cost-effective lignin-based carbon fibre, the market could increase considerably. By launching a joint road map, the two research institutes Innventia and Swerea SICOMP will show how this will be possible in just ten years. The launch took place in conjunction with the SICOMP Conference 2014 in Pite\u00e5 on 2-3 June.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20916\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20916\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20916 \" alt=\"kolfiberlab_11065\" src=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/kolfiberlab_11065-300x182.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2014\/06\/kolfiberlab_11065-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2014\/06\/kolfiberlab_11065.jpg 407w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20916\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lignin-based carbon fibre from Innventias carbon fibre laboratory<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The target is to by 2025 have developed and created a demand for a new high-value Swedish product from wood raw materials: lignin-based carbon fibre, for use primarily in advanced composite materials.
