Publication Overview

The second meeting on the high temperature solid looping network was held at the Netherlands energy research centre at Petten from 15-17th September 2010. Approximately 70 delegates attended the meeting of which about 25% were representing industry. 24 papers were presented and discussed during the event and in addition 7 posters were also on display. ECN is actively engaged in research in this area and delegates were able to see first hand the large pilot plant constructed under the EU framework 6 and CCP 2 CACHET project to demonstrate an integrated sorbent enhanced reforming and water gas shift process using multiple fixed beds. Also included in the site tour were ECN’s fluid bed biomass gasification pilot plants, the latest of which is a large 0.8 MW unit large enough to operate without external heat jacketing to compensate for heat losse

Publication Summary

Slow and steady progress has been made with the looping processes over the last year with improvements in the understanding of attrition and activity loss as well as incremental improvements in performance. All eyes are on larger scale demonstration plants under construction in Spain and Germany both slated to be started up and delivering performance information before next years network meeting.

  • Costs of CCUS
  • Capture

Forty-four electricity and hydrogen configurations, from CCGT and BECCS with CCS to nuclear, hydropower and VRE paired with battery, pumped hydro or hydrogen storage, are compared on process efficiency, levelised cost, deployment scale and life-cycle environmental performance, alongside an uncertainty analysis showing how capacity factor, CAPEX, carbon and CDR prices, and location can reorder the results.
