Oxy-combustion with a circulating fluidized bed (Oxy-CFBC) can facilitate the separation of high CO₂ concentration and reduce emissions by biomass co-firing. This study investigated Oxy-CFBC characteristics such as temperature, solid hold-up, flue gas concentrations including CO₂, pollutant emissions (SO₂, NO, and CO), combustion efficiency and ash properties (slagging, fouling index) with increasing input oxygen levels (21–29 vol%), and biomass co-firing ratios (50, 70, and 100 wt% with domestic wood pellet). The possibility of bio-energy carbon capture and storage for negative CO₂ emission was also evaluated using a 0.1 MWₜₕ Oxy-CFBC test-rig. The results show that combustion stably achieved with at least 90 vol% CO₂ in the flue gas. Compared to air-firing, oxy-firing (with 24 vol% oxygen) reduced pollutant emissions to 29.4% NO, 31.9% SO₂ and 18.5% CO. Increasing the biomass co-firing from 50 to 100 wt% decreased the NO, SO₂ and CO content from 19.2 mg/MJ to 16.1 mg/MJ, 92.8 mg/MJ to 25.0 mg/MJ, and 7.5 mg/MJ to 5.5 mg/MJ, respectively. In contrast to blends of sub-bituminous coal and lignite, negative CO₂ emission (approximately −647 g/kWₜₕ) was predicted for oxy-combustion only biomass.
