flag China launches domestic T1000 carbon fiber production, boosting materials independence and meeting over 80% of its demand.

flag China has launched its first large-scale domestic production line for T1000-grade high-performance carbon fiber in Datong, Shanxi, marking a major step in materials independence. flag Developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanxi Huayang, the facility produces 200 metric tons annually, with plans to expand to 1,000 tons. flag Using a self-developed dry-jet wet spinning process, the fiber achieves exceptional strength—over five times that of steel—and is used in aerospace, defense, high-speed rail, and new energy. flag With domestic demand exceeding half the global total and local production meeting over 80% of demand in 2024—projected to reach 90% by 2026—this advancement supports China’s push for energy security and technological self-reliance.
