After the LightFibre project showed that kraft lignin and cellulose can be dissolved in an ionic liquid and then wet-spun, the ConCarb project was started to convert lignin and cellulose into carbon fibers, which can be used in light weight composites.<ref>{{Cite web|year=|title=Continous stabilization and carbonization of lignin-cellulose for carbon fibers|e-pub date=|date accessed=30-8-2021|url=https://www.ri.se/en/what-we-do/projects/continous-stabilization-and-carbonization-of-lignin-cellulose-for-carbon-fibers}}</ref>
