Advanced lightweight materials for Energy-efficient Structures.

交通运输行业一直是欧洲脱碳的重点。森林项目建议将“减少、恢复和重塑”驱动因素联合收割机结合起来，以应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源消耗是全球交通领域的主要挑战之一。森林将通过提供碳纤维增强塑料制成的轻型部件来减轻车辆的结构重量。通过这种方式，将需要更少的燃料和能源消耗来覆盖相同的距离。另一方面，化石资源正在越来越多地耗尽。此外，它们在寿命结束时（EoL）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，生物苯扎辛，生物聚酰胺）和添加剂（生物阻燃剂）的新化学品。在这方面，将减少对化石资源的依赖。复苏：CFRP市场预计将在运输部门（航空航天，汽车和重型）越来越多地增长。然而，尚未完全克服的一个重要问题是回收大量碳纤维废料以提供附加值材料。FOREST将实施有效的方法来回收100%的CF废料，以开发高质量的半成品材料（无纺布，有机片材/SMC，LFT），用于有价值的运输应用。重塑：使用生物基和回收材料是一个真实的机会，为移动脱碳，但损害的稳定性和安全性能的性能可能会发生。FOREST将研究多功能特性对生物复合材料的影响（机械、阻燃和EMI屏蔽）。因此，FOREST将联合收割机结合生物基、可回收和多功能材料的性质，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.
