The BioStruct project which the Abele Ingenieure are part of, aims to achieve several outcomes, such as increased productivity, ensuring consistently high quality in high-precision manufacturing, promoting strategic independence for the EU manufacturing industry, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. By concentrating on boat building and wind energy, the project directly targets 25 % of the market, and potential applications in sports equipment and automotive are anticipated to boost the share to 45%. With the projected growth of the bio-composites market, the consortium envisions a market potential of around € 100 million by 2030, leading to a significant reduction in greenhouse gases, estimated at 2.5 to 4.3 million tons of CO2 per year.
The BioStruct project brings together 10 European partners. To tackle the existing challenges linked to the utilization of biocomposites in structural components and expand the range of applications for bio-composites, the project has established precise objectives:
- Developing an accurate draping process to control fiber orientation
- Creating material models to capture natural variability
- Integrating nano-structured bio-based sensors for load monitoring
BioStruct has a global budget of over 8 million euros. The consortium’s partners are based in seven countries (Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain).
