Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated a production method they estimate will reduce the cost of carbon fiber as much as 50% and the energy used in its production by more than 60%. Details of the cost analysis will be shared with the prospective licensees.

For future market acceptance of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles or portable devices an efficient, low cost and practical hydrogen storage system and infrastructure suitable for all applications still needs to be developed. To achieve a driving range greater than 500 km in a fuel cell vehicle, about 5 kg of hydrogen is required.

Specifically, low cost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.
