Definition

A combustion method that separates the oxygen supply from air and the fuel by using a circulating solid oxygen carrier: the solid carrier transfers oxygen from an air reactor to a fuel reactor where the fuel is oxidized; the reduced carrier is then re-oxidized by air in the air reactor, enabling fuel oxidation with an exhaust stream that can be rich in CO2 and easier to capture.
