B&W has developed a chemical looping technology that can directly process a wide range of feedstock, including solid fuels such as biomass, municipal waste or coal, into hydrogen and separated streams of carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen-depleted exhaust (primarily nitrogen). An innovative oxygen-carrying metal oxide particle is used in the chemical looping process. The isolated CO2 can be captured and sequestered or transported for beneficial use, while the oxygen-depleted exhaust can also be captured for use or discharged to the atmosphere.

The presentation will provide a short overview of the technology, including current market drivers and financial incentives related to the carbon intensity of the produced fuel. Status updates for two current projects will be presented.
