Articles about Aluminium

Read a fascinating article “Aluminum-Based Fuels as Energy Carriers for Controllable Power and Hydrogen Generation—A Review” that explores the energy conversion system of aluminium fuel, the combustion characteristics of aluminium, and the recycling of aluminium.

The authors discuss the potential of metallic aluminium as a clean and recyclable carrier for energy conversion and storage. It summarizes the combustion characteristics of aluminium, its ability to react with water to generate hydrogen, and the recycling of solid-phase products after the reaction. The development of this technology could lead to a more sustainable energy structure.

The second article in question “Aluminium redox cycle in comparison to pressurized hydrogen for the energy supply of multi-family houses” written by our Technical coordinator Michel Haller as a co-author along with Martin Teichert and Friedrich Sick.

The article addresses Power-to-X technologies that convert renewable electricity to chemically stored energy in “X”. The “X” may provide a gaseous, liquid or solid fuel that can be used in winter to provide both, heat and electricity, and thus replace fossil fuels that are currently used in many countries with cold winters.
