Recently, the world’s largest chemical chain combustion demonstration facility was built by Dongfang Electric, laying a solid foundation for subsequent experimental research. The establishment of this facility by Dongfang Electric also marks a step forward in the Sino-European carbon reduction technology project toward large-scale industrial decarbonization. Chemical chain combustion technology is a new type of low-cost carbon capture method, with the cost of carbon capture being less than one-third that of traditional methods. The results of research on this technology can be applied to large-scale carbon capture in industries with high emission levels such as power generation, heating, petrochemicals, chemicals, and oil and gas sectors, bringing significant environmental and social benefits.
I’m not sure what kind of technology chemical chain combustion is, or what its principle is
Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) relies on the cyclic redox reaction of solid oxygen carrier particles, enabling the in-situ separation of combustion products CO2 and the hierarchical utilization of energy. Since the concept of CLC was formally proposed in 1987, research on oxygen carriers, reactors, reaction systems, etc., related to chemical chain combustion has received extensive attention from scholars both domestically and internationally. To date, with the development of CLC technology, demonstrations of reaction devices ranging from kWth to MWth levels have been carried out, with progress being made toward larger-scale industrial demonstrations and even commercial operation. Over the past 20-plus years, Chinese scholars have made significant contributions in the field of chemical chain combustion, particularly in the context of coal chemical chain combustion, continuously injecting new momentum into the industrial application of this technology.
