Innovative Methods for Mitigating the Carbon Dioxide Impact in Energy Production Processes

In this chapter, we present three technologies that are establishing themselves in the scientific and industrial panorama, as innovative methods for obtaining streams rich in CO2, which can therefore be reused or stored, avoiding its direct introduction into the environment with a simultaneous greenhouse effect. Thinking specifically of combustion phenomena, we discuss here the concept of oxy-combustion, that of chemical looping combustion and, moving on to post-process CO2 capture and concentration methods, we analyse the calcium looping concept.
