At the Institute for Energy Systems and Technology (EST), a promising CO2 capture process, the Indirectly Heated Carbonate Looping (IHCaL), is being developed for integration into lime and cement plants, to reduce the associated CO2 emissions. Combining IHCaL with other capture methods, such as absorption with monoethanolamine (MEA), could further reduce the specific energy consumption (SPECCA) and the cost of the entire system. Some hybrid solutions have been proposed, but a process optimization considering techno-economics is still required to assess the potential.
