KibriaLab is named as one of the awardees in Alberta Innovate’s Carbon Fibre Grand Challenge

July 24, 2020

KibriaLab is named as one of the awardees in Alberta Innovate’s Carbon Fibre Grand Challenge. Alberta Innovates’ Carbon Fibre Grand Challenge is accelerating the development of pathways for large-scale production of carbon fibre and advanced manufacturing products from Alberta’s bitumen. Carbon fibre’s high strength, stiffness, and corrosion resistance coupled with its light weight make it better than many conventional metals and polymers used in transportation, infrastructure, construction and consumer products.
