4. In this work aluminum was considered as energy storage and carrier. To produce 1 kg of aluminum, 2 kg of alumina, 0.4–0.5 kg of coal, 0.02–0.08 kg of cryolite and 13.4–20 kWh of electrical energy are required. Total energy intensity of aluminum was estimated to be about 100 MJ/kg.
Aluminum-based energy storage can participate as a buffer practically in any electricity generating technology. Today, aluminum electrolyzers are powered mainly by large conventional units such as coal-fired (about 40%), hydro (about 50%) and nuclear (about 5%) power plants , , , .
To provide the correct feasibility study the work includes the analysis of aluminum production process: from ore to metal. During this analysis the material and energy balances are considered. Total efficiency of aluminum-based energy storage is evaluated. Aluminum based energy generation technologies are reviewed.
The coming of aluminum-based energy storage technologies is expected in some portable applications and small-power eco-cars. Since energy generation based on aluminum is cleaner than that of fossil fuel, the use of aluminum is defensible within polluted areas, e.g. within megapolises.
Extremely important is also the exploitation of aluminum as energy storage and carrier medium directly in primary batteries, which would result in even higher energy efficiencies. In addition, the stored metal could be integrated in district heating and cooling, using, e.g., water–ammonia heat pumps.
When comparing to the energy stored in aluminum, this corresponds to efficiencies of 66.2%, 57.4%, and 64.7%, when only considering electricity as the energy input. The aluminum-fuel cycle consists of four main components: aluminum production, transportation, storage, and power generation as shown in Fig. 2.
