Topic

The Iron Power Cycle, status and next steps

Speaker
Philip de Goey | TU/e & Metalot

Organized by
Niels Deen
Marta Costa Figueiredo

Introduction

Iron Powder is a very promising carrier of sustainable energy, as it is CO2 free, cyclic, can be stored and transported in a compact and safe way, is prize competitive and has low emissions of dust and NOx. Complementary to other carriers, it is very efficient to import relatively cheap energy from countries with an abundance of sustainable energy, while it can be used especially in high temperature processes in the industry. It supports the use of hydrogen and ammonia for instance to decarbonize industry far from the future hydrogen backbone. The Brainport Iron Power consortium (TU/e, TNO, Metalot, IRON+ and RIFT) together with many partners are leading this groundbreaking new technology. Status and future plans will be shared.

About the speaker

Philip de Goey is Full Professor in the Power & Flow section at TU/e and was dean of the Department of Mechanical Engineering from 2011 to 2022. From 1988 to 2000, he was Assistant/Associate Professor of combustion science at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the TU/e. From 1999-2000 he was Visiting Professor at the Institut fur Technische Mechanik (Prof. Norbert Peters) at the RWTH-Aachen, Germany. Philip has been chairman of the Dutch Section of the Combustion Institute, chairman of the platform Clean and Efficient Combustion of the Dutch Technology Foundation STW-SZV, and program leader of the STW perspectief program Clean Combustion Concepts (2008-2015). He previously acted as Associate Editor and Editor of the Proceedings of the Combustion Institute (CI), Coordinator and Colloquium Co-Chair of the colloquium on Laminar Flames at the 31^st and 32^nd (Int.) Symposium on Combustion. He was member of the board of directors of the CI (2005-2017) and served as secretary of the Executive Board of the CI  (2017-2021) and participated in many committees for that matter.

He studied Theoretical Physics at Radboud University, Nijmegen and received his PhD from the Department of Physics of the TU/e for his thesis 'Collision Phenomena in a Quantum Gas'. Philip has (co-)authored over 400 scientific publications and is a scientific committee member of 10 international conferences. He was one of the leaders within the international scientific Combustion Institute, was appointed as fellow of the Combustion Institute in 2017 and for his achievements, he received the prestigious Simon Stevin Meester Award 2010 (highest Dutch award for technical sciences, 500.000 euro, sometimes referred to as the Dutch Nobel prize for Technology). In 2019 he received a prestigious ERC Advanced Grant on Metal Fuels and in 2023 an ERC PoC grant. Prof. de Goey is active and well-known for numerical and experimental research in the field of combustion science and technology. His three most important achievements in this field are: I) The Heat Flux Method, one of the most accurate methods known for measuring adiabatic burning, II) the FGM (Flamelet Generated Manifold) method, a very efficient and accurate combustion modeling technique and III) one of key drivers of the metal fuel technology.
