2022 Pioneers in Energy Research: Anders Lyngfelt

Dynamic model of isothermal moving bed reducer for chemical looping hydrogen production

“…1 offers several physical and thermodynamic advantages. Completely converted syngas exiting the reducer can utilize a condenser to separate pure CO2 from H2O, resulting in an economically efficient CCS approach [4]. Pure H2 gas is generated in the oxidizer through the steam-iron process, avoiding significant purification expenses required for SMR.…”

“…Chemical looping hydrogen production (CLHP) is a novel technology of H2 production presenting physical and thermodynamic advantages, with efficient recovery pathways. CLHP also offers attractive carbon capture and storage (CCS) strategy implementation, which can avoid major capital and operating costs for purification [4]. Therefore, this CLHP process is considered suitable for industrial H2 production and substitutes for the existing methods that have inefficiency.…”

Q&A with Professor Anders Lyngfelt

“…Since 2021, Energy & Fuels has established annual “Pioneers in Energy Research” (PIERs) recognition to honor prominent scientists who have made pioneering contributions to the field of energy research . As one of the four PIERs announced in 2022, Professor Anders Lyngfelt (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden) has been selected as the 2022 PIER in the field of environmental and CO 2 issues for his outstanding contribution to the area of chemical looping combustion . Below, Professor Lyngfelt answers questions about his research journey and gives advice to fellow researchers.Professor Anders Lyngfelt.…”
