Title:
Optimzed configration of metal energy carrier for renewable energy sources
Agreement Value:
$25,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 23, 2020 - Mar 31, 2021
Description:
The team has identified metal fuels, including aluminum and iron, as excellent candidates for storing clean renewable energy. These metal fuels can be burned with air to produce useful heat, which can be converted into motive or electrical power using heat engines. The products of combustion, solid metal oxides, can be recycled back into reactive metal fuels using clean energy. In this project, the combustion of metal fuels in different configurations in order to design future metal fuel energy systems will be investigated.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
