Iron Oxides for High‐Temperature‐Integrated Energy Storage Systems

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Thermodynamic equilibrium simulations using Aspen Plus delineate the iron–steam redox cycle operational envelope (843–1323 K), quantifying iron conversion (Fe/Fetotal), reaction enthalpy (ΔHR), and pH2/pH2O ratios. Temperature progressively lowers minimum pH2/pH2O for metallic iron formation—from > 5.0 at 843 K to ∼0.8 above 1100 K—while oxidation ...

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in Saskatchewan – Should SMRs be added to Saskatchewan’s energy portfolio?

, 2021
Should Saskatchewan use Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to help lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) emitted by generating electricity? In this capstone, I identify and assess a number of policy considerations that are at play in answering this question. Canada committed to lowering its GHG emissions as part of the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015.
