The calcium looping CO 2 capture process using calcium oxide as a regenerable solid sorbent has been under development at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan for several years. The 3‐kW th test facility built at ITRI is mainly composed of a fluidized‐bed carbonator and a rotary kiln calciner. The calcination efficiency, the CO 2 capture efficiency, and operating stability were investigated. In addition, a cold model test facility has been constructed and a 1.9‐MW th pilot plant designed by ITRI is currently being erected. The combination of calcium looping and cement manufacturing process reduces the cost of adsorbent and calcination energy consumption.
