Sustainability: Heating with iron powder
At Cialona Expo, we are actively committed to sustainability, not only within our own projects, but also by following pioneering innovations that contribute to a greener future.
We find a great example of this very close to home in Helmond: the use of iron powder as a CO2-neutral fuel. And the best part? We are part of it!
How does it work?
In Helmond, instead of gas or coal, iron powder is used to heat homes and businesses – including Cialona – through an innovative heat network.
The process is almost entirely circular: heat and rust are generated during combustion, which are later converted into new iron powder. This means no CO2 emissions and almost endless reusability.
A home-grown innovation
This revolutionary technology was developed by RIFT, a spin-off from TU Eindhoven, in collaboration with heating company Ennatuurlijk. Helmond leads the world in the use of iron fuel, and we are proud to be associated as a company with this sustainable initiative.
Why iron fuel?
- No CO2 emissions
- Fully circular: rust is reused
- Safe and efficient in storage and transport
- Ideal for absorbing peaks in heat demand
Building a greener future together
With this innovation, Helmond is taking a huge step towards an emission-free future, with the ambition of being completely CO2 neutral by 2040. With attention to the right details, we not only contribute to environmentally conscious business, but inspire others to do the same.
Sustainability, innovation and attention
At Cialona Expo, we believe that progress starts with an eye for attention. We not only work on sustainable solutions within our own projects, but also inspire others to do their bit for a greener future.
