Circular Economy for Aerostructures aimed at decarbonisation - EconCARBon
The company FCC Ámbito is participating in the development of the Circular Economy for Decarbonisation-Oriented Aerostructures project (EconCARBon), which aims to increase the application of composite materials in fuselage and empennage through an eco-design of highly weight-efficient aerostructures incorporating circular economy solutions for composite material that is wasted during manufacturing by the processes themselves, as well as at the end of the aircraft's useful life. Initiatives such as the one proposed in this project have a significant impact on the positioning of Spanish industry as a global leader in the transformation towards more sustainable and efficient aviation. The consortium that is developing the project is made up of the companies AIRBUS OPERATIONS, FCC ÁMBITO, GRUPSON TRADE and IDEC.
This project has been subsidised by the CDTI, with the support of the Ministry of Science and Innovation, with file number MIG-20241002 through the call for the year 2024 of the Science and Innovation Missions Programme, within the Transfer and Collaboration Programme of the State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2024-2027, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
