Globally, large private and public funds are invested into CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) research to provide the knowledge and technology required to mitigate CO₂ emissions below a sustainable level. A pertinent question to ask is whether this is the best way of spending limited resources. This pape...

Additional investments to negative emission technologies, such as reforestation or bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), are required to achieve Paris Agreement targets. Chemical-looping combustion of biomass (Bio-CLC)is an under-the-development combustion technology that could provide ...

In this work, a computational fluid dynamics simulator has been developed for a novel double-loop circulating fluidized bed reactor which is used for a chemical looping combustion process. The simulator is implemented in an in-house code including the kinetic theory of granular flow and reaction mod...

Chemical looping combustion experiments have been conducted in the 150 kW CLC reactor at SINTEF Energy Research in Trondheim with good results. Methane was used as fuel and porous copper oxide based particles, with a bulk density of 800 kg/m3 were, used as oxygen carrier. At a fuel power of 140 kW t...
