“…Recent literature mainly considers the role of metals as energy carriers, − in heat and power generation processes, ,− and addresses also life-cycle analyses . Several metals are being discussed with numerous studies on iron ,− and aluminum, ,− also considering, e.g, lithium and magnesium. ,, Alumina combustion can be performed in air or in water, with the latter providing also hydrogen as a product. ,,, Hydrogen production on demand at any desired location, at different scales, from the highly exothermic reactions of light metals (Al, Mg, Li) with water could be a significant technological advantage. , A schematic view of an aluminum-based power generation process is shown in Figure …”
