Abstract:
For the cement and power industries, solar-powered carbon capture is an attractive decarbonization approach that uses renewable energy to increase the sustainability and scalability of CO2 capture and use. To close the carbon loop, it integrates developments in carbon mineralization, electrochemical reduction, and solar heat. Methods for CO2 capturing and storing was a calcium-looping process. Calcium-looping method was reversible reaction of CaCO3 and CaO to capture and store carbon in fossil fuel power plants and cement factories. This a review assessment tested and compared calcium-looping methods in thermal power plants with the cement sector to decide on revel in exchange and know-how transfer between the two industries. The importance of solar energy rotary kilns, the calcium-looping system in two plants, and the usage of solar energy to provide cement were all underlined. Consistent with the current assessment calcium-looping method is used in cement company facilities and fossil fuel plants to capture carbon dioxide, at the same time as concentrating power plants use it to accommodate and launch solar thermal energy. In a power plant, in place of a cement production plant, carbon-looping process gets extra interest.
