Technical Economic and Environmental analysis of Chemical Looping versus oxyfuel combustion for NGCC power plant

The Power Sector is undergoing a rapid technological change with respect to implementation of low carbon technologies. IEA Energy Outlook 2017 shows that the investments in Renewables for first time are equal those on fossil sources. It likely conventional gas turbines and internal combustion engines will need be integrated systems employing biofuels and/or CCUS (Carbon Capture Usage Storage). Also, European Union moving rapidly towards technologies (i.e. Efficiency, Smart Grids, CCUS), see Strategy. Currently 28% installed power capacity Europe based natural plants. Gas-based has reached 418 GW 2016 continue grow future. To efficiently capture dioxide emissions generated by chamber possible solution could adopt new processes, like Chemical Looping Combustion. combination CLC GTs can decrease efficiency combined cycle plant from 60% about 40.34%. These performances influence costs environmental burdens this also same oxyfuel combustion, which competing technology realize CCS. This paper, starting literature mass energy balances cycle, coupled chemical looping combustor calculates reduction CO2 achieved during whole life then identifies value credit needed have an interesting payback period such kind investment.
