Abstract: Calcium-looping systems can be integrated in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants as an alternative for thermal energy storage. This storage concept is based in the high temperature reversible calcination-carbonation reactions, in which limestone and lime are alternatively converted. Energy from CSP can be stored by limestone calcination (endothermic reaction) at high temperatures producing pure streams of CaO and CO2. This energy can be later released when demand increases by means of carbonation reaction (exothermic) at relatively high temperatures.
