7 Fig. 6 Energetics of the CaL methane reforming process.
Energetics of the CaL methane reforming process. (A) Energy consumption for CO2 utilization (ECO2, kilojoules per mole of CO2 converted) and (B) fuel requirement for syngas production (XCH4, moles of CH4 consumed per mole of syngas produced) as a function of carbonation and calcination temperatures. The black curve indicates the value corresponding to the application of conventional MDR using the CO2 supplied by conventional CaL. The solid red circle indicates the value corresponding to the operating temperatures of the CaL methane reforming process investigated in this study. Sicong Tian et al.
