IEAGHG 10th High Temperature Solid Looping Cycles Network Meeting & CaLby2030 Project 2nd Dissemination Event

Overview

The 10th High Temperature Solid Looping Cycles Network (HTSLCN) Meeting took place on the 17th and 18th of March 2026 at Kulturen Hus in Luleå, Sweden, in partnership with the Horizon Europe Framework Programme funded CaLby2030 project and hosted by Swerim. 32 attendees enjoyed a two-day programme, with a total of 27 presentations, the official inauguration of the new Circulating Fluidized Bed – Calcium Looping (CFB-CaL) pilot plant, and a traditional Sámi dinner in a wooden hut built to resemble a Lappish tent on the banks of a frozen Lake Stora Antnäs.

Concluding from the technical sessions and panel discussion, it is evident that high-temperature solid looping cycles carbon capture technologies have moved from primarily targeting the power sector to harder to abate sectors, such as cement, steelmaking, hydrogen production, as well as negative emission technologies like bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and direct air capture (DAC).

The Value of Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS)

  • 4 September 2025
  • Capture

The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of direct air capture and storage (DACCS) in the energy transition (down to the regional level), accounting for key factors, including carbon removal eiciency, timeliness, durability, land footprint and techno-economic performance.

Clean steel an environmental and technoeconomic outlook of a disruptive technology

  • 1 March 2024
  • Capture
  • Costs of CCUS

This study primarily presents a comparative analysis of steelmaking pathways to cost-effectively decarbonise a steel mill, taking a life-cycle perspective on associated environmental impacts. The roll-out of clean steel technologies is envisioned to have a significant implication for support infrastructure. Therefore, a secondary objective of the study is to gain insights into the primary energy and infrastructure implications associated with large-scale deployment of different steel decarbonisation pathways. Clean steel production will likely be more expensive than steel produced today; this poses additional economic strains on steel producers and consumers. Consequently, a third objective is to estimate the price premium that clean steel could command in existing and future markets. Further, this study formulates recommendations for key stakeholders to support the sector and outlines recommendations for further work.

Techno-Economic Assessment of Small-Scale Carbon Capture for Industrial and Power Systems

  • Capture
  • Costs of CCUS

This study, undertaken on behalf of IEAGHG by Element Energy (now a part of ERM), explores the role of CCS in decarbonising small-scale industry and power generation applications. While relatively under investigated compared to their larger scale counterparts, reaching net zero will be dependent on successfully addressing the emissions from small-scale facilities. The findings from the study will be of interest to the broader energy community but, in particular, should benefit project developers, the finance community and policymakers.
