Flexby has recently deepened its collaboration within the European research community by partnering with the EU-funded project Bio-FlexCLC, an important step in its ongoing clustering and networking strategy.
The Bio-FlexCLC consortium aims at developing and demonstrating a full-chain technology that utilises biogenic residues and wastes for flexible Combined Heat and Power (CHP) production with the possibility of cost-effective CO2 capture.
The approach combines chemical looping combustion (CLC) with circulating fluidised bed technology, followed by advanced gas cleaning and CO₂ liquefaction. CLC is an innovative combustion method that produces energy while inherently capturing CO₂. Instead of burning fuel directly with air, the process uses metal oxide particles, known as oxygen carriers, to transfer oxygen from an air reactor to a fuel reactor.
This design means that the resulting flue gas contains mainly CO₂ and water vapour, making it far easier and more cost-effective to capture CO₂ without relying on energy-intensive separation methods. By significantly cutting greenhouse gas emissions, CLC represents a promising pathway toward sustainable, low-carbon energy generation.
This partnership reflects Flexby’s commitment to building synergies with other EU-funded projects to enhance the collective impact of research and innovation. By connecting with similar projects, networks, and clusters at the European level, Flexby aims to drive knowledge exchange, improve the dissemination of results, and accelerate the uptake of its technology.
In the coming years, Flexby will actively participate and co-organise joint dissemination events with Bio-FlexCLC. These joint efforts will not only boost the visibility and relevance of both projects’ outcomes but also contribute to the long-term sustainability of their results, reinforcing their role within the European research and innovation community.
