The Advanced Carbons Council (ACC) has launched as a global trade association to support the production, adoption and use of engineered advanced carbons.
The ACC mission is to connect and facilitate the cross-sector fertilization of ideas, applications and business opportunities for all advanced carbons producers and users, including companies and organizations that produce, use and develop applications for: graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon fiber, carbon nanofibers, synthetic and engineered graphite, carbon-carbon composites, carbon nanodiamonds (CNDs), fullerenes, MXenes and novel carbon forms, and recycled and reclaimed carbons.
Collectively, these markets represent more than $500 billion in market turnover and are also leading candidates to help global industry meet net zero emissions targets through CO2 reduction and mitigation.
Delivered by the same team that has grown and developed The Graphene Council over the past 11 years to become a global community of more than 36,000 materials professionals, the ACC focuses on standards, quality, safety, education, sustainability, advocacy, verification, testing and outreach to connect users with qualified supply chain partners.
Terrance Barkan, Executive Director, Advanced Carbons Council, said it is time to intelligently apply different advanced forms of carbon, working together, to create a truly sustainable economy, whether that means converting reclaimed carbons into high value new materials or extending the life and utility of legacy materials. He added that advanced carbons represent the single greatest opportunity to reduce CO2 emissions while making products that are better, stronger, safer, lighter and more sustainable.
