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 ...

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...

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...

Oxy-fuel conditions may have a considerable influence on the cement production process. This paper presents the results of a first validation work aiming to model the combustion behavior under rich CO₂ conditions. The experiments took place in a 500 kWth pulverized fuel combustion rig. A swirl burne...

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...

The paper gives a high level overview of the work performed in the EU-FP7 funded project SUCCESS (Scale-up of oxygen carrier for chemical looping combustion using environmentally sustainable materials). The project is the most recent one in a series of successful EU-funded research projects on the c...
