Advanced lightweight materials FOR Energy-efficient STructures

运输部门一直是欧洲脱碳的重点。FOREST项目建议结合“减少、恢复和重塑”驱动程序来面对运输部门的脱碳问题。减少：一方面，减少燃油汽车的温室气体排放和电动汽车的能耗是全球出行领域的重大挑战之一。FOREST将通过提供由碳纤维增强塑料制成的轻质部件来减轻车辆的结构重量。这样，行驶相同距离所需的燃料和能源消耗就会减少。另一方面，化石能源正在越来越多地耗尽。此外，它们在使用寿命结束（EoL）时的使用对碳足迹有负面影响。FOREST将开发基于高生物基含量的聚合物（生物丙烯酸、生物苯氧辛、生物聚酰胺）和添加剂（生物阻燃剂）的新化学品。在这方面，对化石能源的依赖将会减少。复苏：CFRP市场预计将在运输部门（航空航天，汽车和重型）增加越来越多。然而，尚未完全克服的一个重要问题是回收大量的碳纤维废料以提供增值材料。FOREST将实施有效的方法来回收100%的CF废物，以开发高质量的半成品材料（无纺布，有机板/SMC， LFT），用于有价值的运输应用。重塑：使用生物基和再生材料是机动性脱碳的真正机会，但可能会对性能的稳定性和安全性造成损害。FOREST将研究多功能特性对生物复合材料（机械、阻燃和电磁屏蔽）的影响。因此，FOREST将结合生物基、可回收和多功能材料的特性，为公共汽车、航空和汽车行业提供可持续的解决方案

The transport sector has always been the focus of decarbonization in Europe. FOREST project proposes to combine the Reduce, Recovery and Reshape” drivers to face the decarbonization issues in the transport sector. Reduce: On the one hand, the greenhouse gas emissions of fuel vehicles and the energy consumption of electric vehicles reduction is one of the major dares of the global mobility sector. FOREST will reduce the structural weight of the vehicles by providing light components made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic. In this way, less fuel and energy consumption will be necessary to cover the same distance. On the other hand, fossil sources are being run out more and more. Besides, their use at the End-of-Life (EoL) has a negative impact on the carbon footprint. FOREST will develop new chemistries based on high-biobased content for polymers (bioacrylic, biobenxozaxine, biopolyamide) and additives (bio fire-retardant). In this regard, the fossil sources' dependency will be reduced. Recovery: The CFRP market is expected to increase more and more in the transport sector (aerospace, automotive, and heavy-duty). However, an important issue which has not totally overcome isthe recovery of the large volume the carbon fibre waste to provide added value materials. FOREST will implement efficient methods to recover 100% of CF waste to develop high-quality semi-finished materials (non-woven, organosheet/SMC, LFT) for valuable transport applications. Reshape: The use of biobased and recycled materials is a real opportunity for mobility decarbonization but a detriment on the stability and safety properties of the performance could occur. FOREST will research the influence of the multifunctional properties on the biocomposite (mechanical, fire-retardant, and EMI-shielding). Therefore, FOREST will combine the biobased, recycled, and multifunctionality material nature to obtain sustainable solutions for the bus, aeronautic, and automotive sectors
