en.Wedoany.com Reported - Vancouver-based Canadian startup Fibernx has achieved a world first by continuously producing carbonized carbon fiber from asphaltene feedstock using a continuous carbonization line. This process converts asphalt waste into high-quality carbon fiber and carbon nanofibers, offering lower costs, less pollution, and greater sustainability compared to traditional PAN-based carbon fiber production—Fibernx claims its technology reduces emissions by 68%.

The successful application of the continuous carbonization line marks a critical step for the company in commercializing low-cost carbon fiber production. Fibernx plans to establish a new carbon fiber industry in Canada, strengthening advanced manufacturing and making carbon fiber more economically accessible worldwide.

The startup has received support from InnoTech Alberta, Alberta Innovates, Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA), and the University of British Columbia. The company has launched a seed funding round to build its first demonstration plant and accelerate commercialization.
