Assessment of chemical looping-based conceptual designs for high efficient hydrogen and power co-generation applied to gasification processes

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are expected to play a significant role in the coming decades for curbing the greenhouse gas emissions and to ensure a sustainable development of power generation and other energy-intensive industrial sectors. Chemical looping systems are very promising options for intrinsically capture CO₂ with lower cost and energy penalties. Gasification offers significant advantages compared with other technologies in term of lower energy and cost penalties for carbon capture, utilization of wide range of fuels, poly-generation capability, plant flexibility, lower environmental impact, etc.
