By Liang-Shih Fan and Elena Chung, Ohio State University Coal plays a big role in America’s energy present and future. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), coal comprises 20 ...
Post-combustion chemical looping uses a calcium looping (CaL) process for CO2 capture. This process has 2 steps: calcination and carbonation. The calciner heats calcium carbonate (CaCO3), thereby ...
Chemical looping technologies have emerged as a promising strategy to meet the dual challenges of clean hydrogen production and effective carbon dioxide capture. This approach relies on cyclic redox ...
Alstom has made significant progress in proving the feasibility of the chemical looping concepts, including completing the first self-sustained operation of a chemical looping combustion unit. Photo ...
How can we burn natural gas without releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air? This feat is achieved using a special combustion method: chemical looping combustion (CLC). In this process, CO2 can be ...
Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (Barberton, Ohio, U.S.A.) L. Zeng, A. Tong, S. Bayham, and L.-S. Fan The Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A ...
Picture a world where burning fossil fuels would not mean emitting greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the air, creating pollution. With new technology produced by Ohio State chemical engineers, ...
What does human metabolism have in common with coal combustion? Quite a bit, it turns out, say researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) who are studying chemical looping ...
Colin Scholes is affiliated with the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC). Chemical looping, a low carbon technology for the fossil fuel industry, is increasingly been ...
