The Calcium Looping (CaL) technology is a potentially low cost and highly efficient postcombustion CO2 capture technology.
Energy integration and sorbent behavior play a relevant role on the process.
The industrial competitiveness of the process depends critically on the minimization of energy penalties.
It may be used in precombustion capture systems and other industrial processes such as cement production.
Sorbent deactivation must be assessed under realistic conditions involving high CO2 concentration in the calciner.
