CaLby2030

Removing carbon emissions from industrial processes is a key component in mitigating climate change. The EU-funded CaLby2030 project will tackle this by creating three pilot plants, in Sweden, Germany and Spain, to test calcium looping using circulating fluidised bed technology. These pilots will investigate the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate CO2 sources: flue gases from modern and future steel-making processes as well as emissions from modern cement plants that use limestone and from waste-to-energy and biothermal power plants. The data collected will be used to create modelling tools to enable commercial scale reactors. Innovative calcium looping solutions will be developed and tested to reach over 99 % CO2 capture rates.
