This looks promising

Scientists are making carbon fiber from plants instead of petroleum (https://www.popsci.com/carbon-fiber-from-plants?dom=currents&src=syn)

I sort of wonder, eventually would biochemical engineering get good enough you can program a vat of e. coli to grow your fibers, kind of like how they do beer w/ yeast these days...

They really mean the resin (matrix), not the fibers, right?
