Today, acrylonitrile is used in the production of acrylic fibers for carpets, clothes, and fabrics, and in plastics such as food containers, and packaging materials. The high acrylonitrile yield allows us to propose a potential industrial process for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to renewable acrylonitrile and carbon fibers.

Its partner, the Life module, consists primarily of a high-strength and extremely lightweight passenger cell made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). Based on its development work on the MINI E and BMW ActiveE concept projects, BMW concluded that “conversion cars”—i.e., Conversion cars are comparatively heavy.
