Accelerating Energy Sector Decarbonization through Waste-Derived Fuels and CCS Technology

Hosted by the projects ACT LOUISE and RFCS REBECCA, this webinar will provide insights into the future of sustainable energy.

Accelerating the decarbonization of the energy sector requires innovative solutions. This webinar will explore the substitution of fossil fuels with waste-derived alternatives and the application of carbon capture technologies oxyfuel and chemical looping combustion. Researchers and industry experts discuss the viability of oxyfuel for retrofitting and chemical looping combustion as a highly efficient CCS process, focusing on recent large-scale pilot testing, further technology scale-up, challenges and potentials in terms of corrosion, and impact assessments (TEA/LCA). Additionally, the webinar will feature an operator’s perspective and an outlook on the further experimental upscaling of chemical looping.
