Chemical Looping Combustion of Solid Fuels

Dear Colleagues,

The current Special Issue of the Energies journal deals with a developing technology of chemical looping combustion (CLC), where solid oxygen carriers are employed to transport O₂ between air and fuel, which eliminates the direct contact of the oxidant with the combusted fuel. As a result, the flue gas consists of a highly concentrated stream of carbon dioxide and removable water vapour, which is the key point of this technology.

To keep track of the topical achievements made in this field, the Special Issue entitled “Chemical Loping Combustion of Solid Fuels” was set up in the peer-reviewed open access journal Energies (IF: 2.702). This Special Issue covers original research and studies related to the title topic, including, but not limited to, oxygen carrier materials, CLC reactors and plants, new concepts, operational experiences and computer modelling, and techno-economic assessments.

Thereby, we invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue. We look forward to receiving your original research and studies.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
