img_7938_web
On 21 September 2022, a presentation was given on ACT LOUISE during Session 4A “Chemical Looping Combustion 4” of the 6th International Conference on Chemical Looping.

The presentation was based on the paper: “Low-Cost CO2 Capture by Chemical Looping Combustion of Waste-Derived Fuels – The LOUISE Project”. The paper described ACT LOUISE’s goal to prepare for a pre-commercial demonstration of chemical looping combustion (CLC) of waste-derived fuels as an efficient technology for CO2 capture from waste-to-energy (WtE).

Most research happens at a desk or in the laboratory and this is no different for the scientists at the Institute of Energy Systems and Technology in Darmstadt. However, a few times a year, nearly all employees leave their desks to operate our 1 MWth modular pilot plant, which can be used to test various novel gasification and carbon capture technologies.

Introducing NORSUS

NORSUSfeaturedimage
In ACT LOUISE, NORSUS will lead Task 4.3 in the “Business case development” work package (WP4), and conduct an environmental LCA of the cases determined by the project partners. This will enable a range of environmental impacts to be calculated based on the relevant input and output material and energy flows.

In order to ensure a fair comparison, both CCS and carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) cases and reference scenarios will be modelled and analysed.
