“…Instead, H 2 is maintained at a stable amount that does not decrease over the 30 min of the simulation. Comparable results can be found in Sajjadi et al (2021), where a techno-economic study is presented, highlighting a similar H 2 production behaviour [41]. H 2 levels remain stable; this could be due to CH 4 molecules being broken up due to the suitable temperature range and the catalytic action of the haematite.…”

Recent interest in hydrogen as an alternative fuel for lowering carbon emissions is funding the exploration of new ways to cleanly produce this molecule. Iron oxides can be used within a process of chemical looping. More specifically, they can lose oxygens at extremely high temperature in an inert atmosphere. An alumina receiver could not stand the extreme thermal stress, while steel (AISI 316 and Inconel Hastelloy c-276) lasted enough for the reaction to start, even if at the end of the process the receiver melted. Operating at a temperature above 1000 K helped the reaction switch from methane chemical looping combustion to chemical looping reforming, thus favouring H2 and CO yields. The gas flow outlet from the reactor reached a percentage up to 45% of H2 and 10% of CO. Carbon dioxide instead reached very low concentrations. While CO and CO2 reached a peak at the beginning of the experiment and then decreased, H2 was oscillating around a stable value. Unreacted methane was detected. The temperatures recorded in the reactor and the gas mixture obtained were used to validate a multiphysical model. The heat transfer and the chemistry of the experiment were simulated.

“…BCL achieves efficient conversion and low-emission utilization of biomass through the circulation of oxygen carriers, avoids NO x generation, and facilitates CO 2 capture and separation. Despite significant progress in this technology, key issues such as the stability and cost of oxygen carriers, reactor design and scale-up, and overall economics need to be addressed for commercialization . Through continued technology development and demonstration projects, the BCL technology is expected to be commercialized in the medium- to long-term, contributing to green energy and carbon reduction.…”

Biomass-based chemical looping (BCL) emerges as a highly prospective technique for generating high-purity H 2 , distinguished by its minimal energy penalties and potential for negative carbon emissions. However, its industrial implementation faces significant challenges owing to the intricate interactions in solid−gas reactions and the heat and mass management within the reactors. This work comprehensively reviews the current advancements in BCL H 2 production (BCLHP), emphasizing oxygen carrier selection, reactor design, system integration, and technoeconomic assessments. It highlights that BCLHP surpasses traditional biomass gasification methods in efficiency, resulting in reduced costs and net negative CO 2 emissions (−17.00 kg of CO 2 / kg of H 2 ). Fe-based oxides are deemed the most appropriate oxygen carriers; however, their utilization is constrained by high fabrication costs and the absence of scalable synthesis methods. Additionally, the uneven and intricate heat and mass transfer present substantial obstacles to scaling up the redox reactors. These issues collectively elevate construction costs and limit the application of BCLHP to laboratory or pilot scales. Significant technological challenges and research gaps in experimental and modeling studies undermine the reliability of simulation outcomes. Therefore, addressing these challenges necessitates developing suitable oxygen carriers and their scalable production methods, stable redox reactors, and overall system scalability. In conclusion, while BCLHP holds considerable promise for high-purity H 2 production and negative emissions, advancing it to practical applications will require innovative advancements in both the experimental and modeling domains.
