CALCIUM LOOPING TO DECARBONIZE CO2-INTENSE INDUSTRIES WITH ADDED REVENUE STREAMS

Calcium Looping (CaL) is a competitive carbon capture (CC) technology due to the inherently efficient process combined with its offsetting revenue streams such as additional heat and/or power as well as calcined lime. CaL technology can be applied to virtually all carbon-intensive industries, including heat & power, cement plants as well as current and future iron- & steelmaking processes. Sumitomo SHI FW (SFW) is a global provider of solutions and services that drive the decarbonization of several industries. SFW has developed CC solutions since the late 2000s, including the CaL technology based on circulating fluidized beds (CFB). Now, we are extending the technology development to new applications, and we target commercial demonstration of SFW CaL+ with partnering customers for 2025-2027 (depending on the application case). In this conference we will outline and discuss the status of SFW CaL+ product development, related piloting and demonstration activities as well as the pathway towards commercialization of the technology.
