The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to GrafTech International Holdings Inc. (GrafTech) to develop lignin-based carbon fiber (LBCF) technology that could replace higher-cost, foreign-sourced isotropic pitch and rayon carbon fibers that are used in several commercial product applications such as rigid insulation, felt insulation, and activated carbon fiber filters.
