Natural iron ores for large-scale thermochemical hydrogen and energy storage …
3. Iron ores for low-cost large-scale energy storage. Own calculations show that iron oxides in general show a great potential for large-scale energy storage: Pure reduced iron has a heat release capacity of 2.1 MWh t −1 and a hydrogen release capacity of 1.9 MW HHV t −1 (see Table 4 ).
