PROGRAMS
Focus Programs for Deployment
C-MECC sets priority themes for the deployment of metal energy carriers, connecting technology, industry, policy, and finance to advance demonstration, framework design, and market development.
Iron Powder Energy Carrier
Iron Powder
Energy Carrier
While exploring the broader potential of metal energy carriers, C-MECC focuses on iron powder as an initial priority area.
Iron powder is a solid energy carrier that can be transported and stored under ambient conditions and used to deliver high-temperature heat.
By recovering the oxide generated after combustion and reducing it again, a circular use model can be developed.
Its compatibility with existing materials industries, logistics, and combustion equipment makes it a promising candidate for industrial deployment.
Five Focus Areas for Deployment
C-MECC connects technology development, demand-side demonstration, supply chains, and institutional design to build the foundation needed for the deployment of iron powder energy carriers.
Iron Powder Combustion
Iron Powder Combustion
We examine combustion performance, burner design, combustion control, NOx reduction, and applications for industrial heat.
Oxide Recovery & Reduction
Oxide Recovery & Reduction
We examine oxide recovery, quality assessment, re-reduction processes, and circular models linked to renewable energy and hydrogen.
Powder Logistics & Safety
Powder Logistics & Safety
We address transport, storage, supply, recovery, dust safety, and equipment operation requirements for iron powder and oxides.
Market & Industrial Deployment
Market & Industrial Deployment
We work with industrial heat users such as boilers to design adoption conditions, demonstration themes, and commercialization scenarios.
Policy, Finance & Standards
Policy, Finance & Standards
We examine GX policy, standardization, safety standards, LCA, certification, insurance and financial schemes, and international collaboration.
Roadmap To Deployment
C-MECC validates deployable models by incorporating technical feasibility, industrial user engagement, safety design, supply and recovery chains, and institutional and financial aspects from the early stages.
Issue Definition &
Theme Design
We define target applications, technical challenges, safety requirements, and commercialization issues from technical, market, and institutional perspectives.
PoC & Demonstration
Planning
We design target equipment, combustion conditions, recovery and logistics flows, evaluation metrics, LCA, safety standards, and roles and responsibilities.
Demonstration &
Evaluation
We validate combustion, recovery, logistics, operations, safety, environmental performance, and economics under conditions close to actual deployment, while identifying issues for insurance and risk assessment.
Deployment Model
Development
We organize supply and recovery systems, business viability, insurance and finance, and partner structures to move from demonstration toward commercialization.
Join us in building the next industrial energy infrastructure.
C-MECC welcomes corporate, public, and academic members.
