Explanation:

Example CO2 scrubbing chemistry
Main article: Carbon dioxide scrubber
Calcium oxide

Calcium oxide (quicklime) will absorb CO2 from atmospheric air mixed with steam at 400 °C (forming calcium carbonate) and release it at 1,000 °C. This process, proposed by Steinfeld, can be performed using renewable energy from thermal concentrated solar power.[29] Quicklime is made by burning limestone to release the CO2 within it. Quicklime is mixed with sand for brick building as mortar, where it hardens by absortion of CO2.

Il syngas che si ottiene è ricco di metano, il quale viene impiegato in un processo combinato di steam reforming e cattura della CO2 in appositi reattori detti Decarbonatori (o Decarbonatatori) basati sull'utilizzo di particolari sorbenti solidi contenenti ossido di calcio, la cui dinamica sarà analizzata in questo rapporto
