The LOUISE project will reduce the CO2 capture cost by the innovative Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) technology

The LOUISE project will prepare for a pre-commercial demonstration of Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) of solid waste-derived fuels, an innovative process for generating power and heat from waste (waste-to-energy, WtE), providing a concentrated stream of CO2.

The project is funded through the ACT3 call and will be in operation until end of 2024. The project manager is Jochen Ströhle from Technische Universität Darmstadt. The project has partners from Germany, Greece, Norway, and Turkey.

The researchers in LOUISE are working closely with industrial partners. The interesting general assembly in Fredrikstad, Norway, in May 2023 showed the value of close interaction between academic and industrial partners. Read more.

After the General Assembly a news story about LOUISE achievements was published in local media. Read more.

Results from LOUISE were also presented at the TCCS conference. Read more.

Two of the project partners, SINTEF and TU Darmstadt, recently got funding for a transnational collaboration through the ECCSEL program. Test operation at a CLC pilot unit will be performed and results will be relevant input for the planned testing at larger scale in a 1 MWth unit. The LOUISE team will in the coming months keep us all updated with results at their project website.
