Scaling-up carbon fibre production from Alberta’s asphaltenes.

The proposed research project would focus on the development of high-value carbon fibers from low-value waste by-products, asphaltenes, for multifunctional applications. One part of the program would highlight the efforts to scale up the technology without deteriorating the process performance. The other part of the program would focus on working with North Forge in the L2M program to strengthen the customer discovery, product market fit, and the development of a minimum viable product (MVP) for our technology. We anticipate positive outcomes from this project under L2M program such as development of direct relationships with customers and finalizing the product validation for multiple applications.
