With support from our stakeholders like Alberta Innovates and Emissions Reduction Alberta, Thread has constructed a 10,000 square foot pre-commercial facility in Edmonton, Alberta. The objective of this key project is to: (i) demonstrate commercial scalability of the Thread proprietary process; and (ii) develop carbon fiber outputs to meet next-generation demand requirements.
Construction of a dedicated 10,000 square foot research and development center in Edmonton, Alberta. Equipping of the facility with purpose built production systems will continue throughout 2024 and 2025 in support of pre-commercial objectives.
Production of carbon fiber precursor from bitumen-based feedstocks, which is the core of Thread’s intellectual property.
Research, engineering and testing of scalable systems to convert precursor to ‘green fiber’, utilizing the latest commercial fiber production technology.
Development of oxidization, carbonization and fiber treatment processes to demonstrate commercially-viable output fibers.
Integration of Thread output fibers into product development and collaboration initiatives to address large-scale carbon fiber applications. For product development inquiries, please contact us.
