In-situ gasification chemical looping combustion (iG-CLC), which has been tested on pilot plant level, is regarded as an advanced carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology for reducing CO2 emissions. A life cycle global warming impact (GWI) analysis is performed to consider the lifetime emissions of the low-carbon iG-CLC technology. Herein, the capacity is considered to be 610 MWe using natural ilmenite as oxygen carrier and steam as gasification agent. At the condition of operational pressure of 15 atm and air reactor temperature of 1050 degrees C, the net power efficiency of 37.7% for achieving 93.5% inherent CO(2 )capture is obtained in simulations with thermodynamically optimum condition. The life cycle GWI is calculated equal to be 160.3 kg CO2-equivalent/MW h. The effects of several essential parameters, including steam to carbon ratio (S/C), oxygen carrier to fuel ratio (Phi), different oxygen carriers and lifetime of oxygen carriers, on the lifecycle GWI have been analyzed and discussed to meet the potential possibility for further reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To obtain sufficient carbon capture efficiency, the S/C ratio and Phi are suggested to be 1.3 and 1.2 in this study, respectively. The life cycle GWI is heavily dependent on lifetime of ferrum (Fe) when it is less than 2000 h, beyond that range, the GWI is decreasing, but very slowly. (C) 2019 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
