What does human metabolism have in common with coal combustion? Quite a bit, it turns out, say researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) who are studying chemical looping ...

Chemical looping combustion (CLC), an advanced coal power technology that could markedly simplify carbon capture at power plants, has moved significantly closer to commercialization, owing to a ...

Alstom has made significant progress in proving the feasibility of the chemical looping concepts, including completing the first self-sustained operation of a chemical looping combustion unit. Photo ...

Researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) are closing in on key improvements to an evolving energy technology known as chemical looping combustion (CLC), a process that can ...

How can we burn natural gas without releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air? This feat is achieved using a special combustion method: chemical looping combustion (CLC). In this process, CO2 can be ...

The development of carbon capture technologies is of the utmost importance right now, as carbon dioxide emissions from non-renewable fuel combustion is one of the leading causes of the global climate ...

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is an indirect process in which fuel is combusted without direct contact with air. Transfer of oxygen between air and fuel takes place with the aid of an ...
