Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Carbon capture with subsequent compression and storage is a promising possibility for the reduction of CO₂ emissions from coal‐fired power generation. A very efficient post‐combustion CO₂ capture technology is the carbonate looping process. To further increase the process efficiency, a new concept is considered where the heat for calcination is transferred from an external combustor to the calciner by means of heat pipes. Some thermodynamic evaluations for a retrofit of a coal‐fired host plant with the indirectly heated carbonate looping process and cold flow model tests of a 300‐kW_th test facility that will be erected in 2013 in Darmstadt are presented. </p> </abstract>
