Coal is the dominant fuel in China to provide primary energy, and 70% of polyvinyl chloride
is produced from coal-based CaC 2. CaC 2 reacts with water to produce acetylene and …

Calcium looping (CaL) is a promising technology for the decarbonation of power generation
and carbon-intensive (cement, lime and steel) industries. Although CaL has been …

Thermochemical energy storage (TCS) systems are receiving increasing research interest
as a potential alternative to molten salts in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. In this …

The calcium looping (CaL) process is a promising CO2 capture technology, which uses CaO-
based sorbents by employing a reversible reaction between CaO and CO2, generally …

Steam reforming of natural gas is the dominant process for large–scale hydrogen
production. The process is characterized by high energy requirements and high carbon …

Among the available techniques for hydrogen production, the sorption enhanced steam
reforming (SESR) is an emerging technology consisting in the integration of reforming …

Calcium looping, a CO2 capture technique, may offer a mid-term if not near-term solution to
mitigate climate change, triggered by the yet increasing anthropogenic CO2 emissions. A …

The methane steam reforming (MSR) technology is the oldest and the most vital route to
convert CH 4 into H 2. The conventional process usually operates in a high temperature …

Deployment of fossil fuels to quench the energy demand of the world's rising population
results in elevated levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially CO 2, which in …

To alleviate the pressing problem of greenhouse gas emissions, the development and
deployment of sustainable energy technologies is necessary. One potentially viable …
