Metalot

About

Founded in 2015, Metalot is a private headquartered in Budel, Netherlands specializing in Other.

Founded in 2015, Metalot operates the Metal Power Community, committed to integrating renewable, flexible, and transportable energy through metals worldwide. The organization focuses on Iron Power technology, which uses iron powder as a sustainable energy carrier. Iron powder can be combusted to generate industrial heat and electricity, with the resulting rust converted back to iron using sustainable hydrogen, creating a circular cycle. Iron Power is particularly suited for energy-intensive industries that are difficult to electrify and lack access to distributed renewable infrastructure. Metalot facilitates collaboration among research institutions, technology developers, startups, and end users to accelerate technology development, establish value chains, and achieve regulatory acceptance. Key projects include feasibility studies, burner and reduction system development (up to 0.5 MW demonstrated), and proof-of-concept research. The organization emphasizes solving the energy transition challenges of affordability, sustainability, energy security, and seasonal energy storage that solar and wind alone cannot address.
