Strategic project for a cost-effective carbon fibre supply chain.

The article discusses the launch of a project for the development of a supply chain for reasonably priced carbon fiber by the French automotive sector platform (P.F.A.) and the French chemical industry union (U.I.C.), for use in automobile manufacturing to reduce vehicle weight and therefore reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Details include the possible benefits for other industries like aerospace, energy, defense and sports and polyacrylonitrile (P.A.N.) being a major factor in the cost.
