German researchers have developed a method to produce carbon fiber from microalgae, offering a greener alternative to petroleum-based materials. Led by the Technical University of Munich, the GreenCarbon project uses algae that absorb CO2 and store energy-rich oils. These oils are then chemically converted into acrylonitrile, a key precursor in carbon fiber production. The resulting bio-based carbon fiber is strong enough for industrial use. In fact, Airbus has already used it to build parts for a research helicopter, which successfully completed a test flight in 2024. Scientists say this breakthrough could help reduce carbon emissions in aviation and beyond.
