Carbon fibre production via low energy microwave absorption
CARBOWAVE Leads the Charge at EU Clustering Event on Sustainable Industrial Energy
Project showcases groundbreaking microwave and plasma heating technologies for low-emission carbon fibre production at CINEA-hosted industry event in Brussels.
Brussels, Belgium – The CARBOWAVE project took centre stage at the 1st Clustering Event on Efficient, Sustainable Energy Use in Industry: Unlocking Potential in Heat Conversion and Storage, organised by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). Representing the CARBOWAVE consortium, Anne Beaucamp Mc Loughlin delivered an impactful presentation highlighting the project’s innovative approach to reducing the energy footprint of composite manufacturing. CARBOWAVE aims to revolutionise carbon fibre production by integrating microwave and plasma heating technologies, offering a more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional methods. The event brought together a diverse array of EU-funded research and innovation projects, each focused on accelerating the clean-energy transition in industry through advanced materials and clean-tech solutions. With growing emphasis on reducing industrial emissions and boosting energy efficiency, the event provided a vital platform for knowledge exchange and cross-project collaboration. CARBOWAVE’s participation underscored the project’s commitment to supporting the European Green Deal and advancing climate-resilient, energy-efficient industrial practices. The presentation attracted significant interest from fellow researchers, policymakers, and industrial stakeholders, highlighting CARBOWAVE’s potential to play a central role in Europe’s green and digital transformation.
