Our aluminum-powered industrial decarbonization technology is in the spotlight! Found Energy is featured in the Boston Globe. Read our story about our mission to decarbonize heavy industry with aluminum fuels. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eZzHXHgR “The Found Energy system could replace fossil fuel with aluminum-generated hydrogen, a gas that burns at up to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, but produces no waste carbon. Instead of using barrels of oil, you truck in refined aluminum, which is safer and easier to transport than volatile fossil fuels and doesn’t release carbon and toxic gases. Feed the aluminum into a Found Energy reactor for heat and hydrogen, then send the aluminum oxide back to the smelter for ‘recharging.’ Dan Steingart, chair of the department of Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University, said Found Energy is onto something. 'I’m a big fan of using metals to store energy, particularly something like aluminum,’ Steingart said. ‘Metals are easy to transport and they’re easy to store.’” Read on ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eZzHXHgR #FoundEnergy #aluminum #climatetech #cleanenergy #industrialdecarbonization Via Boston Globe Media and Hiawatha Bray

Building the future powered by aluminum
Über uns
Found Energy is building rechargeable aluminum fuel power systems aimed at eliminating carbon emissions from heavy industrial applications ranging from industrial heating (7% of global CO2 emissions) to maritime shipping (3% of global CO2 emissions). Building off technology developed at MIT that enables metallic aluminum to split water, our energy delivery systems safely generate hydrogen and/or industrial heat on-site at >5x the volumetric energy density of liquid hydrogen, >3x that of methanol and ammonia, and >25x that of Li-ion batteries. By integrating storage, transport, and generation into a single package, our technology solves some of the biggest pain points in renewable energy transmission and storage. At Found Energy, we believe in securing a livable and equitable future for our planet, and we are looking for partners who are motivated by this goal to join us.

CEO Peter Godart joined Matthew Myers of Climate Tech Cocktails on #ClimateTechCoffee to talk about how Found Energy is decarbonizing heavy industry by replacing fossil fuels with carbon-free aluminum fuel. Thanks for having us! 🌎 “In the short term, we're taking aluminum waste that is difficult to recycle and we're actually turning it into [alumina trihydrate] - basically shortcutting having to mine bauxite. And it turns out if you do that for a very wide range of feedstocks and processes you're trying to decarbonize, it's actually a carbon-negative process. You're eliminating Scope One emissions through Scope Three. …But in the long term, what we want to do is take that aluminum oxide and go back up the thermodynamic ladder. And if you use electricity to do that - which is basically how all aluminum is made today - then we have what we're calling the world's first rechargeable fuel.” #aluminum #industrialdecarbonization #cleanenergy #sustainability
