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...
