Found Energy is developing aluminum-based fuel for industrial applications. Found Energy's thermal energy technology converts any aluminum into an energy-dense fuel by breaking down the oxide layer, allowing the aluminum to rapidly and completely oxidize upon contact with water in a process called fractal exfoliation. This highly exothermic process releases the energy stored in the aluminum as a combination of heat and hydrogen (or superheated steam). The system generates superheated steam at the highest temperatures required by modern industry. Aluminum fuel can be used to produce hydrogen on-site, on-demand (meaning aluminum fuel is cheaper and safer to transport than hydrogen).
