I spoke to a carbon fibre vendor over a decade ago, when the carbon fibre shortage was in full swing because the Airbus and Boeing Superliners were going into production - he said the CSIRO was working on a manufacture process for carbon using sugar from sugar cane. Seems their perseverance has paid off http://www.caradvice.com.au/524387/...facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share I hope this production technology doesn't get exported because of a lack of investment to manufacture it here like happened with solar calls
