We experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of a novel process that integrates chemical looping combustion into calcium scheme. Using co-precipitation technique, calcium-based, copper-functionalised CO2 sorbents were developed. The material synthesized possessed stable uptake and oxygen carrying capacities, making it an attractive candidate for modified process.
