COMBUSTION
Living Lab Metal Power
Following up on the successes in the Metal Power project, the EU granted a subsidy to scale up and optimize the iron fuel technology.
Lighthouse Metal Power – Finished
The Lighthouse Metal Power Project aims to develop the world’s very first 100kW Iron fueled steam generator.
Proof Of Concept – Finished
To show the world that iron fuel can serve as a magnificent sustainable energy carrier, a team of eleven students realized a proof of concept in the period 2017-2018.
OXIDATION
Steam Iron
Steam Iron is the newest project of SOLID. It is focused on storing hydrogen in the form of iron by using steam instead of burning iron. This project can form the basis for new innovative hydrogen storage solutions.
