From TRL 5 to TRL 7

This project takes Iron Fuel Technology™ from TRL 5 to TRL 7, building the value chain and legal frameworks needed for market entry. Once complete, end-users will be able to run pilot projects to cut CO₂ and nitrogen emissions, while technology developers can secure venture capital to scale and roll out the technology in energy-intensive industries.

Advancing innovation: results

By the end of the project we will deliver:
• A TRL 7 iron fuel boiler system (1 MW)
• A 200 kW iron fuel production system

Both will be validated against customer requirements and will demonstrate the potential of Iron Fuel Technology™ at industrial scale.

An impact study will map the supply chain, value chain, and legal frameworks needed for large-scale adoption. This approach combines technical development with supplier engagement, regulatory alignment, and human capital development,  ensuring a sustainable and scalable business model.

Our consortium aims to install 750 MW within the next decade, creating:

  • An estimated €1.9 billion in cumulative economic value
  • A 0.25% share of the European market
  • Around 2,600 new jobs

Bridging concept to impact: activities


Feasibility
Build a dynamic model of Iron Fuel Technology™ and conduct a life cycle analysis

Design
Develop a 1 MW boiler and a 200 kW production system.

Implementation
Install and commission both systems.

Validation
Test and verify performance at TRL 7 in Helmond (1 MW boiler) and Arnhem (200 kW system).

Stakeholder engagement Involve end-users, traders, hydrogen suppliers, insurers, environmental agencies, financiers, and regulators.

Learning hub
Create a knowledge-sharing platform to accelerate adoption

Strategic project management
Keep the project on track with strong coordination and communication.
