Carbon dioxide capture and mitigation form a key part of the technological response to
combat climate change and reduce CO2 emissions. Solid materials capable of reversibly …

A global transition towards more sustainable production and consumption systems has led
to an increasing share of renewables in the energy market. Renewables, majorly solar PV …

Energy storage facilities play a crucial role in mitigating the fluctuations of renewable energy
sources such as solar and wind. These facilities can be used in solar-driven power plants to …

In the present work, we explore the use of steam in the CaCO 3 calcination step of the
Calcium Looping process devised for thermochemical energy storage (CaL-TCES). Steam …

Thermal and thermochemical processes can be efficiently developed and carried out in
fluidized beds, due to the unique properties of fluidized suspensions of solid particles and to …

The present work proposes integrating a high-temperature thermochemical energy storage
cycle to boost the solar contribution in solar combined cycles. The main feature of the plant …

Abstract Solar-driven CO 2/H 2 O splitting via a two-step solar thermochemical cycle is a
promising approach for fuel production and carbon neutrality to address the intermittent …

This work emphasizes the importance of thermal energy storage and the ways to do it: by
sensible, latent, and thermochemical heat. The latter is the one that presents a better …

Due to the inconsistency and intermittence of solar energy, concentrated solar power (CSP)
cannot stably transmit energy to the grid. Heat storage can maximize the availability of CSP …

Understanding the mechanisms and characteristics of heat and mass transfer is crucial for
optimizing the design and operating parameters of Ca (OH) 2/CaO fixed bed reactors …
