CLC, a promising concept with challenging development issues

摘要

Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) is a promising technique to achieve fuel combustion in a nitrogen free atmosphere, therefore giving the possibility to separate and store or use CO2. Several potential applications are considered in the field of power generation with gas, liquid and mostly solid fuels. In the Carbon Capture, Storage and Utilization (CCSU) context, energy penalty is reduced with CLC compared to other routes. In addition, other applications of Chemical Looping Technology are considered in the field of H-2 production or gasification for instance.
