| Description | This research aimed to scale-up processes using either limestone or manufactured oxides in a looping cycle arrangement for the generation of hydrogen from fossil and related feedstocks. The project developed a unique UK looping cycle facility which was used to prove the concept at a pilot scale compared to the original lab-scale development. |
| Exploitation Route | The findings are formning a basis for new research supported through UK CCS Research Consortium and RFCS. The facilities developed represent the largest in the UK and these are being made available to other UK researchers under the UK CCSRC PACT Facilities initiative, with support from DECC and the EPSRC. |
| Sectors | Chemicals,Energy,Manufacturing, including Industrial Biotechology |
| Description | The findings from the research carried out in this project have been used in the large scale demonstration of Ca-looping technology carried out with EU support in Spain. Also, new projects to explore the use of chemical looping with manufactured oxide particles for low-cost oxygen production and in a Ca-looping format for CO2 reduction in cement making. A further proposal for the use of this approach to reduce steelmaking CO2 emissions has been submitted with Siemens and BOC Linde for EU funding. The research carried out in this and related contracts will be applied in a new UK Government-funded project, a feasibility study on sorbent-enhanced reforming for hydrogen production which is expected to start in March 2019. |
