Researchers at UL are leading a project that has developed a new method of producing carbon fiber, a high-cost lightweight material used in sectors such as aerospace, wind energy, construction, and transportation.<\/p>\n<p>The CARBOWAVE project uses an innovative plasma and microwave heating method to make carbon fiber, replacing the conventional heating processes and significantly reducing energy consumption by as much as 70% while maintaining the materials&#8217; performance. The reduction in the energy required to produce the material will make the process greener and less expensive.<\/p>\n<p>The advancement, the first results of which were published in the Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials Journal, will help to address environmental challenges like energy consumption and emissions while also contributing to sustainable industrial growth. Remarkably, during their research, the UL team discovered that carbon fiber can be produced in an inexpensive domestic microwave and exhibit mechanical performance equivalent to that produced using conventional heating.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/techxplore.com\/news\/2025-03-microwave-energy-carbon-fiber-production.html\">Tech Explore<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-677\/\">Using microwave energy to cut carbon fiber production energy costs<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[18139,575,18140],"class_list":["post-138057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-carbon-fiber","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-microwave-energy"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138057\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
