Chemical looping reforming and gasification
Okay kiddo, have you ever played with building blocks? Imagine you have two different types of blocks, red and blue. Chemical looping reforming and gasification are like building blocks that help make energy.
When we want to turn something like coal or natural gas into energy, we need to break it down into smaller pieces. This is where chemical looping reforming and gasification come in.
Chemical looping reforming is like using the red blocks. We take the coal or gas and react it with another material, like iron oxide. This reaction creates carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, which can be burned to make energy.
Gasification is like using the blue blocks. We heat up the coal or gas and react it with water or steam. This creates a gas mixture that we can burn to make energy.
So chemical looping reforming and gasification are two different ways to break down coal and gas so we can use it to make energy. And just like building blocks, we can use different combinations of these processes to achieve the energy outcomes we want.
