Core tips:Gen 2 Carbon, a UK company offering carbon fibre nonwovens and carbon fibre recovery systems, and Americarb, a US manufacturer of carbon and graphite materials, partner to develop recycled carbon fibre (rCF) materials for clean energy technologies.
 Gen 2 Carbon and Americarb are joining forces in the field of recycled carbon fibre for clean energy, announced Frazer Barnes, Chairman & CTO of Gen 2 Carbon, in a message posted a few days ago on linkedIn. He explains that the collaboration will “combine Gen 2 Carbon’s expertise in recycling carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) waste with Americarb’s strengths in impregnation, curing and heat treatment.”

The goal of the 2 companies is to use end-of-life composites to manufacture high-value products for batteries, fuel cells, electrolysers and structural energy storage. Applications range from electrodes and gas diffusion layers to bipolar plates and multifunctional composites.

Frazer Barnes indicates that recycled carbon fibre enables to save 20–30% in costs compared to virgin fibre, with a carbon footprint up to 95% lower. In addition, the supply chain is more secure as domestic waste volumes are high.
