Project: Low-Cost CO2 Capture by Chemical Looping Combustion of Waste-Derived Fuels
| Acronym | LOUISE |
| Project Topic | The aim of the LOUISE 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. A net electrical efficiency above 35 % and CO2 avoidance costs below 25 €/t can be expected for CLC of waste-derived fuels, which is a significant improvement compared to first generation CO2 capture technologies. The potential impact of enabling CLC for WtE is large, especially in urban areas where WtE plants are a major source of CO2. A main advantage of the CLC concept is 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. CLC of coal and biomass has been validated at 1 MWth scale by TU Darmstadt, but no results for CLC with waste-derived fuels are available so far. However, the Norwegian CLIMIT-project "CLC_x0002_SRF" will perform first pilot tests at 150 kWth scale. Since some of the same partners are involved, results of this project will be used as basis for the LOUISE project. The LOUISE project will: |
