A circular aluminium energy platform for industrial heat, hydrogen production, or resilient electricity, and clean infrastructure beyond grid limitations.
iQ-LOOP's Role in the Energy Transition
Delivering clean energy where the grid can't reach
The world is electrifying more rapidly than the grid can accommodate. Heavy industry, remote operations, and clean mobility all require energy that can be securely stored, quickly transported, and released on demand — independent of grid access or other critical infrastructure.
iQ-LOOP is creating an advanced energy storage solution that utilises aluminium as a durable, plentiful, and recyclable resource for sustainable energy distribution in a circular manner.
The system transforms aluminium to retain energy in a solid state, emitting heat, electricity, and hydrogen when required. It offers a more straightforward and reliable way to transmit renewable energy beyond grid constraints, and also eliminates the need to store hydrogen as a high-pressure gas or cryogenic liquid; the technology embodies a groundbreaking advancement of this decade.
This closed-loop, carbon-neutral approach is what makes iQ-LOOP practical rather than theoretical: the same aluminium can be charged, discharged, and recharged indefinitely, giving industrial sites, remote operations, and entire communities a way to build their own reserve of clean energy — deployed on demand, wherever the grid can't reach.
No Grid. No Gas. No Compromise
The storage of sustainable energy in a stable solid form in aluminium rather of a volatile gas or liquid fuel addresses the core issues of energy storage—cost, safety, durability, and emissions—while alleviating a strained system. Aluminium can be moved and used as easily as any other material, maintains stored energy indefinitely with no standing loss, and delivers it, in the form of heat, hydrogen, or power exactly where needed, affordably and without emissions, regardless of grid constraints.
Climate-Focused Energy Investment
iQ-LOOP is developing a circular aluminium energy platform built for the clean energy transition - turning abundant aluminium into a safe, stable medium for storing and moving clean electricity.
Established Energy Ecosystem
Our technology connects into the wider clean energy landscape — renewables, industrial heat, and clean mobility — providing the storage layer that links generation to where energy is actually needed.
Global Footprint
With R&D across Europe and Canada and a growing network of research, industrial, and pilot partners, iQ-LOOP is building the relationships needed to move from validated technology to first deployments.
Our Focus
Delivering clean, on-demand energy to industrial processes that are difficult to electrify.
Helping heavy industries cut
emissions without restructuring
the grid.
As global temperatures continue to rise, demand for cooling is increasing rapidly.
Placing growing pressure on
electricity networks and
driving up energy costs.
Storing surplus renewable energy in aluminium and releasing it on demand.
Enhancing grid resilience and
providing reliable backup power
in intermittent supply.
Building the clean energy supply chain of tomorrow
For most of human history, energy didn't travel down a wire — it travelled as cargo. Coal, wood, and charcoal were carried to wherever heat or power was needed, then released on arrival. The electrical grid changed that: energy now moves instantly, but only where the wires reach, and only when the wires can carry the load.
iQ-LOOP revives the older idea, with a circular, zero-carbon twist.
