METALIQ is a patented system for controlled, on-demand in-situ hydrogen generation using alkali metals and alkaline earth metals and water.
It is based on the stabilization of the reactions of alkali metals, alkali-earth metals or alloys among them with water. Hydrogen is generated on-site, in lesser weight, at atmospheric pressure, mild temperature and without significant energy requirement. This hydrogen is further feed to a fuel cell system to produce electrical energy.
Fuel commercialisation and distribution is based on a recyclable cartridges system. This simplifies the recharging method, avoiding the need to access to power sources and the power storage.
