Research objectives

Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a technique that captures the CO2 produced in fossil energy use and permanently seals them in various ways to avoid their release into the atmosphere. This technology is considered to be one of the most important technologies for future greenhouse gas emission reduction and global 2050 emission reduction targets. Because of the particularity of our country's energy structure, the CCUS technology of coal-burning is the inevitable choice for our country to deal with the compulsory total emission reduction target or the relative emission reduction CO2. The main problem of the existing carbon capture technology is to capture energy consumption and high cost, for CO2 utilization is also very immature, also face very high process energy consumption and cost problems, so it is urgent to develop a new generation of low-carbon energy utilization technology. This research team focused on the chemical looping as the core of chemical chain combustion, chemical chain gasification, calcium cycling and other systems research, the core idea is the recycling of solid functional particles, with the aid of functional carrier particles to provide active oxygen, carbon absorbers, the conventional combustion gasification (one-step reaction, Rapid and violent reaction) the boundary is two step or multi-step reaction, realizes the chemical energy cascade use, the CO2 capture or the high value, the development new generation Low-carbon Energy utilization technology.

Research direction

Chemical chain combustion and chemical chain oxygen decoupling combustion, focusing on high performance oxygen carriers, serial fluidized bed reactors, chemical chain systems, pollutant generation mechanisms and control technologies.

Calcium cycle carbon capture, focusing on high performance CaO absorbers and alkali metal/alkaline earth metal CO2 absorbers, reactors, etc.

The fossil energy chemical chain is high valued, with emphasis on circulating particles and reactor systems involved in chemical chain gasification, chemical chain hydrogen production, chemical chain oxygen production, and chemical chain reforming.
