Project description
Putting out the Halon fire-extinguishing battery
Halon 1301 is a very effective fire-extinguishing agent. However, it is also a harmful substance that will be banned by 2040. As such, the aerospace sector requires innovative, lightweight and more environmentally friendly fire-suppression solutions. The EU-funded O2FREE project will demonstrate the feasibility of Al-air technology as a fire-suppression solution for aeronautics. It will deliver a lightweight, safe and reliable technology free of critical raw materials. Specifically, it will propose the development of an innovative and lightweight solution for fire suppression based on primary Al-air battery technology. Results will directly contribute to EU competitiveness in aircraft systems and technologies.
