Funding will support John Hopkins University's plan to create a novel thermochemical processing system that uses methane sources to produce quality carbon fiber at or near natural gas commodity prices. If successful, the system will lower costs associated with producing quality carbon fiber and thereby boost the lightweight material's adoption in consumer goods like cars.
