The European Union may prohibit the use of carbon fiber in the automotive industry

In addition, a carbon -based composites can fall under the ban on the use of composites based on aviation and wind energy. According to the EU authorities, such materials create health risks in the process of disposal. At the same time, the global carbon fiber market last year was estimated at 5.5 billion dollars.

Carbon fiber materials have become popular in the automotive industry due to a combination of strength and lightness. Electric carbon manufacturers use carbon to compensate for the mass of batteries. At the same time, such composites are still considered expensive in production, so about 20 percent account for their use in the automotive industry.

The EU authorities believe that during the disposal of composites the finest carbon threads fall into the air, which cause irritation and painful sensations when it enters the skin. In addition, a carbon fiber conducts an electric current, therefore, in the theory of microparticles of materials, short circuits can cause.

If the bill on the prohibition of Karbon entered into force, automobile and other industries will not be able to use composite materials since 2029. In addition to car brands, carbon fiber manufacturers will also suffer from amendments. If last year the market of such materials was estimated at $ 5.5 billion, then for ten years this amount can grow three times.

Last fall in one of the European countries, advertising of cars with ICE was banned. The Hague became the first city in the world where a similar ban was introduced.
