The invention relates to a cyclic method for capturing and utilizing COcontained in a gas stream. The method uses three different materials, a first solid material, a second solid material and a COsorbent material. In a first step a first gas stream comprising COand at least one reductant is brought in contact with the three materials, resulting in an outlet stream comprising water. In a second step, the captured COfrom the first step is released and converted to CO to produce a CO rich outlet stream. The invention further relates to an installation for capturing and utilizing CO.

Method to capture and utilize COand an installation for capturing and utilizing CO

The invention relates to a cyclic method of producing a hydrogen rich and/or a carbon monoxide rich stream using different materials, a first solid material, a second solid material and a COsorbent material. In a first step a first gas stream comprising steam and at least one reductant is brought in contact with the three materials resulting in a hydrogen rich outlet stream. In a second step, the captured COfrom the first step is released and converted to CO to produce a CO rich outlet stream. The invention further relates to an installation for producing a hydrogen rich and/or carbon monoxide rich stream.
