10th High Temperature Solid Looping Cycles Network Meeting

Our project partners, Politecnico di Milano and University College London, will present the EMPHATICaL project at the 10th High Temperature Solid Looping Cycles Network Meeting at Luleå, Sweden.

Nestor D. Montiel Bohórquez from Politecnico di Milano will present 'Integration of Calcium Looping and Solid Oxide Electrolysis fore-methanol production in steelmaking', and Richard Porter from University College London will present 'NOx Transformation and Reduction Kinetics in Calcium Looping Systems'.

Day 1 - 10th HTSLCN meeting - 17th March 2026

The high temperature solid looping cycles network (HTSLCN) meeting covers technologydevelopments in fields where a solid material is cycled between multiple reactors atelevated temperatures. The scope of the IEAGHG HTSLCN is to discuss recent progress insolid looping cycles such as calcium looping and sorption enhanced reforming for selectiveCO2 transport and chemical looping combustion and reforming with selective oxygentransport by the solids. It brings together well-known technologies used in fluid catalyticcracking, circulating fluidized beds and combined cycles, in new ways, to increaseefficiencies and provide opportunities to decrease the carbon footprint of energy intensiveprocesses.

Day 2 - CaLby2030 project – 2nd Dissemination event - 18th March 2026

CaLby2030 is a European project granted under Horizon Europe framework programme.The main goal is to act as enabling tool to achieve, by 2030, commercial deployment ofCalcium Looping technology (CaL) using Circulating Fluidised Bed reactors.CaLby2030 project presentations will focus on decarbonization in iron & steel industriesand will include a site visit to Swerim’s CaL-CFB pilot plant, one of the project’sdemonstration sites.
