Applications


Construction
Construction is an energy demanding industry and contributes massively to overall emissions. The use of innovative and advanced green materials, such as graphene and foams can recue the environmental impact of construction and improve overall building quality and life span.


Aerospace
Composite materials have become widely used in aircraft production on the route to sustainability. Carbon fiber reinforced plastics can be manufactured into many shapes and sizes, are lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel, making them an ideal material choice for reducing fuel consumption.


Automotive
Green technology has had a wide impact on the automotive sector over recent years. We have the increasing presence of li-ion batteries in EV cars, fuel cells in hydrogen powdered trains and busses, to the use of composites and foams to reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency.
