ANICA is a research project which serves to develop concepts of the indirectly heated carbonate looping (IHCaL) process for CO₂ capture from lime and cement plants.
The project investigates the existing 1st generation oxyfuel technology and an innovative 2nd generation oxyfuel concept with the ultimate goal of reducing CO₂ avoidance cost, increasing plant efficiency and strengthening the overall competitiveness.
The aim of the research project was to identify those fuel particles which potentially cause the greatest disturbances and to determine their rate of conversion in the flame and in the clinker bed. A further goal was to derive quality criteria for AF, to elaborate recommendations for the optimisation of fuel feeding systems and to develop a tool to estimate the suitability of an AF.

The aim of this research project is to extend the technical-scientific basis for reducing the mercury loads in the exhaust gas path of cement rotary kiln plants by sorbent supported dust removal and to show possibilities for optimisation.
SCI4climate.NRW analyses technological, ecological and economical challenges of an institutional and infrastructural transformation of manufacturing companies in energy-intensive primary industries in North Rhine-Westphalia towards a sustainable climate-neutral industry by 2050.
The core concept of the research project is to generate the maximum amount of electrical energy from the process exhaust gas during the production of cement clinker without affecting its kiln capacity or clinker quality. The electricity generated should cover the base load requirements for the cement production.
The aim of the CLEANKER (CLEAN clinKER) project is to perform large-scale testing of this technology as an integrated method (Technology Readiness Level 7). It is planned to treat 4 000 m³/h exhaust gas in a demonstration plant to be connected to an existing kiln line at the Buzzi Unicem works in Vernasca in Italy.
