“…CLG utilizes an oxygen carrier (OC) (e.g., the metal oxides of Cu, Ni, Fe, Mn) rather than O 2 to transfer oxygen to partially oxidize biomass into syngas. − As shown in Figure , a CLG system consists of two interconnected reactors. In a fuel reactor (FR), OC plays multiple roles, including catalyzing tar and hydrocarbon reforming and oxidizing biomass and volatile compounds into CO, CO 2 , CH 4 , and H 2 O. , Syngas can be used to synthesize hydrocarbons under the Fischer–Tropsch process. Then, the reduced OC is transferred into the air reactor (AR), where it is oxidized by air for the next CLG cycle.…”
