Related to this, DOE seeks by 2020 to develop novel precursors and conversion processes capable of reducing the high-volume cost of high-strength carbon fiber by 25% from $13 per pound to ~$9 per pound. In FY 2014, one area of focus was low-cost, high-strength carbon fiber precursors and advanced tank designs.
