Decarbonisation is key
CO2 emissions are a proven key driver behind climate change and it‘s environmental impact.
The development of scalable solutions for storage, global transport, the controlled release and transformation of renewable energy are therefore critical to develop a sustainable and balanced energy supply.
Key attributes such as availability, efficient production and inherent stability offer broad support for the Energy13 technology based on metallic energy storage. It allows for a highly scalable, efficient and environmentally safe storage, transport and release of renewable energy, benefitting from existing logistical and recycling infrastructure.
Amongst various metals, Aluminum provides for a very high volumetric energy density (a.i. factor 11 compared to H2), making it particularly well suited for the task.
On this backdrop Energy13 has developed an innovative technology and core IP enabling the transfer and controlled release of renewable energy using aluminum in a cyclical process. During the energy release phase of this cycle, exogenous CO2 could be captured and processed into H2 and CO on demand. The results are net carbon-emission-free industrial processes for the base chemical industry and other H2-consuming processes
