Production of Carbon Fiber with Low Carbon Dioxide Footprint

Faurecia, a company of the Group FORVIA, is a tier‑one automotive supplier with a carbon neutrality target over the coming years. Faurecia has an important activity in hydrogen (H2) storage tanks. It is well known that carbon fibers have a huge emission factor, and thus significantly impacts Faurecia’s carbon footprint. The Sustainable Materials Division at Faurecia aims at developing low carbon footprint carbon fibers for H2 storage tanks to decrease carbon dioxide (CO2) emission factors. The cost will also be a challenge for the democratisation of H2 propulsion...
