- The paper gives a high level overview of the work performed in the EU-FP7 funded project SUCCESS (Scale-up of oxygen carrier for chemical looping combustion using environmentally sustainable materials). The project is the most recent one in a series of successful EU-funded research projects on the chemical looping combustion (CLC) technology. Its main objective is to perform the necessary research in order to demonstrate the CLC technology in the range of 10 MW fuel power input. The main focus is on scale-up of production of two different oxygen carrier materials using large scale equipment and industrially available raw materials. This will guarantee availability of oxygen carrier material at tonne scale. The scale-up of the two materials, a Cu and a Mn based, was successful and first tests with the Cu material have already been performed in four different pilot units up to 150 kW where the material showed excellent performance regarding fuel conversion. In addition to technology scale-up, extensive end-user evaluation is performed. This evaluation includes investigations on health, security and environmental impacts (HSE), a life cycle analysis and a techno-economic analysis to compare the CLC technology for steam generation against the current state-of-the-art technologies.

1st International Conference on Negative CO2 Emissions - Summary and Highlights
- 2018

Ingår i: GHGT 2018 - 14th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies. - : International Energy Agency Greenhouse Gas, IEAGHG.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Negative CO2 emissions technologies include a number of technologies and biospheric storage options, the objective of which is the removal of atmospheric CO2 and thus the limitation of future global warming. An international conference on negative emissions technologies was conceived to meet the need for a broader understanding of the possibilities and challenges facing these technologies. The International Conference on Negative CO2 Emissions was held in May 22-24, 2018, at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. The conference was organized by Chalmers with support from the Global Carbon Project, the City of Gothenburg, Nordic Energy Research, ECOERA, the Center for Carbon Removal, Göteborg Energi, Stockholm Exergi, and the International Energy Agency, i.e. IEAGHG, IEAIETS and IEA Bioenergy. The purpose of the conference was to bring together a wide range of scientific and technological disciplines and stakeholders, in order to engage in various aspects of research relating to negative CO2 emissions. This included various negative emission technologies, socio-economic and climate modelling, and climate policies and incentives. The conference was a major scientific event and the first in a conference series. The next conference will be held in the spring of 2020. This paper reports highlights and important messages from the conference.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The combination of chemical-looping combustion (CLC) and steam methane reforming (SMR) bears the potential for quantitative and energy-efficient CO2 capture along with hydrogen production from natural gas. A 2-dimensional axisymmetric model of a SMR tube was used to estimate the possibility to adapt the tube dimensions to better fit into fluidized-bed heat exchangers. A constant surrounding fluidized-bed temperature was set as the boundary condition. There are two phenomena that affect the reactor performance: the effective heat-transfer rate from the fluidized bed to and through the tube wall and onward to and into the catalyst bed on the one hand and the effective reaction rates of the governing chemical reactions on the other hand. Literature models were used for the heat-transfer description assuming a state-of-the-art reforming catalyst and classical SMR kinetics were formulated. The simulation results show a temperature decrease toward the tube center in steady state operation. The gas phase composition at the tube outlet reflects the radial temperature distribution as the chemical equilibrium is approached well. Simulations with smaller tube diameters indicate that the necessary tube length for equivalent gas conversion is significantly reduced. In a 1/2-scale setting with 63 mm inner diameter (ID) of the tube instead of 126 mm ID in full scale, the necessary tube length is only 6.0 m instead of 12.5 m, and in a 1/4-scale setting with 31.5 mm ID, the necessary tube length is only 3.3 m. A temperature increase of the fluidized bed from 900 to 950 and 1000 °C may reduce the necessary tube length in the 1/4 scale from 3.3 to 2.6 and 2.2 m, respectively. These indications are promising with respect to the possibilities for fluidized-bed immersed reformer tube dimensioning and arrangement. More detailed reactor design studies will be necessary to judge the industrial feasibility of the CLC-SMR combination.
