THE POWER OF RECYCLED ALUMINUM

The New 'Clean Fuel'

Imagine if you could store energy from excess renewable generation forever, and transport it with zero losses. AlumaPower makes this possible.

Aluminum has an incredibly high energy density at 2.5x that of gasoline or diesel. Aluminum is abundant, non-volatile, lightweight, has an indefinite shelf life, and is easy to handle and transport.

WASTE-TO-FUELS ADVANTAGE

Why is scrap aluminum so available?

Smelting of virgin aluminum is an energy-intensive process, creating 'frozen electricity' trapped in the molecular structure of the metal that AlumaPower's Al-air Galvanic Generator™ can extract.

But AlumaPower's technology can run on post-consumer scrap, such as that found in decommissioned cars. This waste stream will grow dramatically as we transition from the internal combustion engine to electric vehicles, giving us an abundant, low cost feedstock.

CREATING A SUSTAINABLE SYSTEM

Circular Economy & Fuel Stewardship

Our approach envisions a closed-loop fuel stewardship approach, using recycled aluminum and then recycling our aluminum hydroxide byproduct.
