A production line for carbon fiber takes the PAN precursor through two stages (stabilization/oxidation and carbonization) and then to winding. The site expansion, scheduled to be completed by early 2015, will make the plant in Moses Lake the world’s largest carbon fiber plant. 3,000 tons of carbon fiber.

This approach should speed the development of more economical carbon fiber materials. While stronger and lighter than steel, carbon fiber composites are relatively expensive. As part of the project, PNNL also analyzed the costs of long carbon fiber components versus standard steel and fiberglass composites.
