Fourth conference on the Metal-enabled Cycle of Renewable Energy

Presentation

The 4th Conference on the Metal-enabled Cycle of Renewable Energy (MeCRE) brings together researchers, industry leaders, and policy makers to explore the emerging concept of metal fuels as a sustainable energy carrier. As the world seeks alternatives to fossil fuels, metal powders such as iron and aluminum offer promising potential thanks to their high energy density, recyclability, and compatibility with existing energy systems.

This event provides a dedicated platform to examine the scientific, technological, and industrial advances required to establish a viable metal-fuel cycle.

  • Key goals include:
  • Knowledge Exchange - Showcasing the latest research on combustion, redox processes, and reactor technologies for metal-based energy systems.
  • Innovation and Applications - Highlighting real-world demonstrations and industrial use cases, from renewable energy storage to clean power generation.
  • Sustainability and Policy - Discussing environmental impacts, circular-economy benefits, and regulatory frameworks needed to ensure the safe and efficient development of metal fuels.
  • Collaboration and Networking - Fostering dialogue among academia, industry, and public authorities to accelerate innovation and investment.

By connecting diverse perspectives, MeCRE aims to position metal fuels as a credible pillar of the global energy transition and to inspire collective action toward a carbon-neutral future
