was a 3.5 years lasting project to investigate CFB technologies towards making them more flexible and environmental friendly under high ramp-up rates and the adoption of low rank fuels co-combustion with difficult to combust biogenic fuels as a retrofitting option in fluidized bed power plants. Alongside the technical issues that needed to be overcome, their environmental and economic performance were also investigated.
is a 3-year lasting research project funded by the ACT Consortium. The aim of this project is to prepare for pre-commercial demonstration of Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) for CO2 capture from waste-to-energy (WtE). CLC is an innovative, highly efficient combustion process for generation of power and heat providing a concentrated stream of CO2. The potential impact of enabling CLC for WtE is large, especially in urban areas where WtE plants are a majof source of CO2. A main advantage of the CLC concept ist the separation of the heat production from the release of problematic substances. This allows for higher steam temperatures and electrical efficiency, even for more low-quality fuels, such as waste.
The ambition of the CHEERS project is to improve the efficacy of CO2 capture in industry, and help ensuring sustainable, secure, and affordable energy. This will be achieved by testing and verifying a 2nd generation chemical-looping technology, first at laboratory scale (150kWth), then developing into a 3MWth system prototype for demonstration in an operational environment.
is a 3-year lasting research project developing climate negative solutions by rational and efficient methods for utilization of waster-derived fuels and biomass, in a Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) process with inherent CO2 capture. Increased knowledge for assessment is realized by focusing on key areas such as
- corrosion and material choice
- optimization of thermal and electric efficiency
- collaboration with end users with widely differing needs
CORAL is a 3.5 year lasting research project exploring a novel concept for metal oxidation utilizing retrofitted coal-fired fluidized bed poer plants. This will enable the cyclic reduction and oxidation of metals for energy storage and flexible CO2-free provision of heat and power.
