Chemical Looping Combustion is an emerging technology whereby fossil
fuels are burnt using the oxygen contained within a metal oxide. The
combustion in oxygen rather than air enables easy capture of CO2 from
the flue gas, whilst the subsequent re-oxidation of the metal oxide in
air is highly exothermic, and provides the heat to raise steam for power
generation. This presentation looks at how the process may be further
adapted for the production of high-purity H2, and how some of the
challenges facing the technology may be addressed.
