"Metallic Fuels: A Carbon-Free Energy Solution for Earth and Moon"

Researchers from Canada and The Netherlands have collaborated to explore the use of iron powder as a fuel source, testing if flames could jump from one fuel source to another. As countries move away from fossil fuels to reduce carbon emissions, renewable sources such as solar and wind energy are gaining prominence. However, alternate fuel sources are also needed to meet energy requirements for missions on the Moon and further out in space.
