Progress of Green and Low-Carbon Technologies in the Carbon Fiber Industry
Carbon fibers,renowned for their superior physicochemical properties,are extensively utilized across various sectors of the national economy,exhibiting a rapidly growing development trend.The preparation process of carbon fibers is complex and long,and the energy consumption is high,resulting in high costs that limit their broader and more voluminous application.The life cycle assessments of carbon fibers in wind turbine blades have demonstrated significant advantages in Energy Payback Time and Carbon Payback Time,establishing them as reliable materials for achieving sustainable environmental development.The green and low-carbon technology of carbon fibers represents an essential pathway for the continuous,healthy expansion of the carbon fiber industry into broader domains,as well as a critical approach to accelerate the formation of new productive forces and enhance the development momentum of the carbon fiber industry.The greening and carbon reduction of carbon fiber precursor filaments,their preparation processes,the carbonization of precursor filaments,and the recycling and reuse of carbon fibers,are the principal pathways for achieving a green and low-carbon transition in the carbon fiber industry.
