Project: Developing innovative low carbon solutions for energy-intensive industrial applications by Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies;
Finaciar support: Romanian National Authority for Scientific Research, CNCS - UEFISCDI
Project code: PN-III-P4-ID-PCE-2016-0031
Contract number: 53/2017
Period: 2017 - 2019

        The main aim of this project is to investigate innovative low carbon solutions to be implemented in industrial applications for reducing CO₂ emissions by Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies and to increase the overall energy conversion efficiency. High temperature solid looping method is one innovative carbon capture methods which can deliver both high energy efficiency and low CO₂ emissions. Various oxygen carriers, sorbents as well as combinations of them will be assessed for process optimization purposes. As illustrative energy-intensive industrial applications evaluated in connexion with chemical looping methods for process decarbonisation the following examples will be assessed: heat and power generation by fuel total and partial oxidation, cement production, chemical applications (ammonia, fertilizers), metallurgy (iron, steel).
