Core Iron Reactor PoC for LDES Applications

FY 2023-24 · 2023-11-06

Summary
The project consists of building and testing a single-tube reactor prototype capable of releasing fully-decarbonized high-temperature heat. This reactor, based on the controlled thermochemical oxidation and reduction of iron, operates in a similar way to a long-life battery, and allowing the storage and release of clean energy on demand. More specifically, the project will involve assembling the initial prototype from a complete design, followed with the calibration of this reactor against performance parameters and initial commercial use case assumptions.

Description (French)
Le projet consiste à construire et à tester un prototype de réacteur à tube unique capable de libérer de la chaleur à haute température entièrement décarbonée. Ce réacteur, qui repose sur l’oxydation et la réduction thermochimiques contrôlées du fer, fonctionne de la même manière qu’une batterie à longue durée de vie et permet de stocker et de libérer de l’énergie propre à la demande. Plus précisément, le projet comprendra l’assemblage du prototype initial à partir d’une conception complète, suivi de l’étalonnage de ce réacteur par rapport aux paramètres de performance et aux hypothèses de cas d’utilisation commerciale initiale.
