Technical Economic and Environmental analysis of Chemical Looping versus oxyfuel combustion for NGCC power plant

The Power Sector is undergoing a rapid technological change with respect to implementation of low carbon technologies. The IEA Energy Outlook 2017 shows that the investments in Renewables for the first time are equal to those on the fossil sources. It is likely that the conventional gas turbines and...

description The Power Sector is undergoing a rapid technological change with respect to implementation of low carbon technologies.
