📢 [PROJECT] A look back at the Thermofire Project General Assembly! On November 26 and 27, the THERMOFIRE CBE-JU Project General Assembly was held in Spain, in Logroño, at the Geopannel facilities. CANOE had the pleasure of actively participating in this event as a project partner. THERMOFIRE is an ambitious collaborative project that aims to develop sustainable and fireproof composite materials, in line with Europe's environmental and energy objectives. This event allowed partners to present significant advances in the development of innovative and environmentally friendly materials. 🎯 Feedback on CANOE’s contribution : CANOE has recently worked onto renewables formulations based onto cellulose reinforced composite into thermoplastic matrix. Such fiber, has been manufactured at pilot scale by the wet spinning facilities and then sized with coupling agent for global mechanical and fire-retardant properties enhancement. We are delighted to have shared this progress with our partners and to continue to collaborate to develop ever more efficient and sustainable materials. ➡️ Stay connected to follow the next steps and progress of this promising project! 👉 The consortium : Arkema | Avanzare Innovación Tecnológica | CANOE - Le Centre Technologique Nouvelle Aquitaine Composites & Matériaux Avancés | Footwear Technology Center of La Rioja (CTCR) | Fundación Centro Tecnológico Miranda de Ebro | Centro Ricerche Fiat | ENSATEC | Geopannel | MNLT Innovations PC | NaturePlast | POLYMERIS | Safran #THERMOFIRE #MaterialsInnovation #CANOE #RenewableEnergies #GeneralAssembly

🚗 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞 🌍 One of the most important ways adhesives and sealants drive sustainability in automotive design is by making vehicles lighter. Adhesives enable manufacturers to bond diverse materials, enhancing strength and safety while contributing to lighter vehicle structures. This weight reduction is crucial for improving fuel efficiency and lowering CO₂ emissions throughout a vehicle’s lifespan. It’s especially important for electric vehicles, where efficiency directly affects battery range. 💡FEICA advocates for a technology-neutral regulation that allows for continued innovations and solutions that meet Europe’s sustainability goals.
