Towards a full multi-scale understanding of zero-carbon metal fuel combustion
Energy-on-demand is a cornerstone of modern society. Currently, the primary source of energy is fossil fuel, but in view of undeniable climate warming, an alternative fuel is dearly wanted. Metal powders are a tantalizing, totally carbon-free and recyclable option for such a fuel. Its combustion products are solid metal-oxide particles, which, after capture, can be recycled to metal powders again using green electricity. The technology required to burn metal powder aerosols in a stable and reliable way is, however, still in its infancy. Rapid growth of the technology is unlikely, because fundamental understanding of combustion of dense metal aerosols is largely lacking. Herein lies a virgin…
