1 6 th Nordic Wood BiorefineryConference (NWBC), October 2015, Helsinki, Finland GreenLight Lignin-based carbon fibre Per Tomani and Birgit Backlund, Innventia

2 Why lignin-based carbon fibre? Demand for cost-efficient carbon fibres. Biobased is a plus

3 Why lignin-based carbon fibre? Demand for cost-efficient carbon fibres. Biobased is a plus Increased replacement of steel with carbon fibre composites in cars

4 Why lignin-based carbon fibre? Demand for cost-efficient carbon fibres. Biobased is a plus Increased replacement of steel with carbon fibre composites in cars Decreased weight and fuel/electricity consumption of the car fleet

5 Why lignin-based carbon fibre? Demand for cost-efficient carbon fibres. Biobased is a plus Increased replacement of steel with carbon fibre composites in cars Decreased weight and fuel/electricity consumption of the car fleet GreenLight idea Utilize lignin, a wood component that is a large by-product from pulp mills, as raw material for such cost-efficient and green carbon fibres.

6 Background LignoBoost commercial process for separation of lignin from pulping liquor 2 commercial LignoBoost plants USA and Finland Lignin capacity: t/y

7 Background LignoBoost commercial process for separation of lignin from pulping liquor Successful melt spinning of pure softwood and hardwood lignin in small pilot scale 2 commercial LignoBoost plants USA and Finland Lignin capacity: t/y

8 Background LignoBoost commercial process for separation of lignin from pulping liquor Successful melt spinning of pure softwood and hardwood lignin Conversion of 100 % softwood lignin multifilaments to carbon fibres 2 commercial LignoBoost plants USA and Finland Lignin capacity: t/y

9 GreenLight Project goal Demonstrate the viability of the processing of lignin into carbon fibre (CF) and CF structural composites with customized features (lightness, strength, costeffectiveness) for the automotive industry that can replace the CF produced with petroleum-based raw materials. Budget 2.6 M (Financing: 50% EU, 50% Södra) Coordinator Innventia Duration 1 July June 2019 This project has received funding from the Bio Based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No

10 The GreenLight value chain Renewable raw material Kraft pulp mill Lignin recovery End use CF reinforced polymer Lignin-based CF 10
