TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the integration in combined cycles of a Thermochemical Energy Storage (TCES) system based on the Calcium-Looping process, which can release the stored energy at temperatures above 1000°C.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated all the options for O 2 production to retrofit a 550 MWe coal-fired power plant with oxyfuel combustion, and the best results were obtained by combining oxygen transport membranes and electrolysis since the energy consumption has been reduced to 98.56 kWh/ton of O 2 , decreasing by 59.31% the cryogenic distillation energy consumption.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a novel combined use of transcritical CO2 cycles as an energy storage system and carbon dioxide storage inside geological formations, with a high potential to compete in terms of electric to electric storage efficiencies and costs (70-120 USD/MWh).

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed a comprehensive life cycle assessment of the calcium looping integration in solar plants to assess the potential of the technology from an environmental perspective. But the results showed the moderate environmental impact of the calcined thermochemical energy storage technology, resulting in lower equivalent carbon dioxide emissions (24 kg/MWh) than other energy storage options such as molten salt-based solar facilities.
