Recently, the world's largest chemical looping combustion demonstration device was built in Dongfang Boiler Co., Ltd. of Dongfang Electric Group, with a thermal power of 4 megawatts, laying a solid foundation for subsequent experimental research. The China-Europe carbon emission reduction technology project is moving towards large-scale industrial decarbonization one step closer.
As a new low-cost carbon capture technology, the chemical looping combustion technology has a carbon capture cost less than one-third of the traditional carbon capture technology. The research results of the project can be applied to electricity, heating, petrochemical, chemical, oil and gas, etc. Large-scale carbon capture in high-emission industries has significant environmental and social benefits.
The device is an important part of the China-Europe carbon emission reduction technology research project and an important pilot test link to promote chemical looping combustion technology from the laboratory to large-scale industrial decarbonization. It is reported that the China-EU Carbon Emission Reduction Technology Research Project is a key research and development project in the field of energy technology jointly funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology's key research and development program "Intergovernmental International Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation" and the European Commission's "Horizon 2020" program. The problem of high energy consumption and high cost of carbon capture provides a new technical route.
