LOOP is a circular aluminium energy platform for clean heat, power and hydrogen beyond the limits of the grid. The trading name of iQ-LOOP Energy Ltd, a UK-based energy technology company, LOOP is advancing from validated technology toward first deployments and is now expanding into North America to build the partners, pilots and customers who will bring it to scale.

About us

iQ-LOOP: The Energy Carrier Behind Its Circular Energy Platform

iQ-LOOP Energy Ltd is a UK-based energy technology company developing a circular aluminium energy platform that stores renewable energy in a stable, recyclable solid state and releases it as heat, power, or hydrogen when required. iQ-LOOP is now expanding into North America to build partnerships, launch pilot projects, and engage collaborators, building on the validation of its core technology.

Our mission is to deliver clean, reliable energy anywhere on Earth — unlocking renewable power for industries and regions beyond the reach of grids, pipelines, and conventional infrastructure. By making renewable energy portable, scalable, and economically viable, we empower businesses to decarbonise operations, reduce long-term energy costs, and accelerate the global transition to a net-zero economy.

Our Mission

A world where clean energy can be stored, moved, and deployed as easily as any other material — where surplus renewable power is never wasted, where heavy industry and remote operations decarbonise without rebuilding around the grid, and where aluminium circulates indefinitely as the carrier of a resilient, sovereign energy economy. It's a small, concrete expression of what some are calling the coherence economy — systems designed to circulate rather than extract, in service of the places and people that depend on them.

Our Vision

Our Approach

We start from a simple conviction: the clean energy transition should not stall at the edge of the grid. Too many industries and communities sit beyond the reach of reliable wires and pipelines, and too much renewable energy is wasted for lack of a way to hold and move it.

​

Our strategy is to capture renewable energy where and when it is most abundant—close to the source and least expensive—and store it in a tangible, portable form that can be transported via conventional logistics to wherever it is required. At the point of demand, the energy is released as heat, hydrogen, or electricity. We choose materials that are abundant, safe to handle, and permanently reusable, so that advancement in one area does not result in waste or dependency in another.

​

We think in loops, not in lines. Each stage is intended to feed the next, keeping resources in constant circulation rather than consuming and discarding them—so the same item can provide economic value again with each cycle, rather than being used once and replaced. And we pursue this pragmatically, assessing success based on what works dependably at scale in real-world operating situations rather than novelty alone.

​

Above all, we aim to make sustainable energy a practical choice rather than a compromise—meeting energy at its source and delivering it to where it is needed.

Wind Turbine Landscape

Our Values

Blue Earth View

Sustainability

With iQ-LOOP, energy needs are satisfied without depleting tomorrow's resources. Aluminium is recharged with renewable electricity, stored and transported as solid metal, reacted on demand to give heat, hydrogen or power and is recharged again.

Blue Digital Grid

Innovation

iQ-LOOP provides grid resilience, data-driven automation, and decentralisation. It is a dispatchable, long-duration alternative to fixed, weather-dependent generation. Its aluminium-based storage is recharged by renewables, moved as solid metal, and reacted on demand.

Hands Reaching Out

Reliability

For iQ-LOOP, reliability means on-demand power, not weather. Recharged aluminium fuel rods provide resilient, backup. Security comes from fuel kept on-site as stable solid metal, resistant to equipment failures, adverse weather, and supply disruptions.

Our Objectives

Decarbonise seasonal energy supply

Replace fossil-fuel peaking and backup power with a zero-carbon storage system to move renewable energy from surplus to demand, one of the major energy transition challenge.

Strengthen energy security and resilience

Give grids, industries, and communities a dispatchable, on-demand power source that doesn't depend on weather, imported fuel, or fragile supply chains.

Advance the circular economy

Prove that a critical material can be reused indefinitely rather than extracted, consumed, and discarded — a model other energy and industrial sectors can follow.

Extend clean energy access globally

Leverage the portability of aluminium to deliver reliable, renewable energy to regions lacking grid infrastructure – remote communities, islands, and off-grid industrial sites.

Impact
 

iQ-LOOP closes the gap between renewable energy generation and consumption at the point of use. The REGEN container uses renewable electricity to convert depleted aluminium into FuelRods and FuelPods, which deliver this energy over established logistics networks. The CREATE unit generates heat, hydrogen, or power to buildings, industries, transportation, and remote sites. This makes renewable energy available year-round, strengthens energy independence, reduces reliance on imported fuel, and creates new market opportunities.

iQ-LOOP's three components are (1) REGEN->> (2) FuelPods ->> (3) CREATE connected in circular fashion.

The iQ-LOOP Team

What Defines Us

IQ-LOOP is founded on a fundamental belief: energy ought to flow rather than deplete. We are a team of engineers, scientists, builders, and visionaries who apply equal tenacity and honesty throughout challenging times as well as favourable ones — for establishing a circular energy system necessitates discipline, not merely aspiration. We do this work for the world our children will inherit: one where energy regenerates instead of depletes, and the future stays open instead of running out.
