The utilization of captured CO 2 for fuel, chemicals and materials is currently a focus of significant research effort as a method that can simultaneously mitigate greenhouse gas effect while reduce fossil fuel depletion. In this work, CO 2 source is provided by a desirable three-stage Fe-based chemical looping combustion power system that can achieve zero-energy-penalty CO 2 capture while simultaneously obtain pure H 2 source. The aim of this study is to present this designed process for the first time with demonstrating it as an energy-efficient and environmental-friendly CO 2 -to-liquid fuel pathway. Within this context, the liquid fuels energy output and carbon emissions are compared with different CO 2 utilization ratios to the thermodynamic assessment, intending to disclose the insufficiency location within system. With conceivable improvements in an optimum condition, the fuel energy saving ratio and CO 2 emission ratio of this process are projected to be 12.19% and 98.46%, respectively in relative to separate production system. The maximal exergy destruction, though projected to be located in chemical looping hydrogen generation unit (as represented by 37.56% of total exergy destruction), still has opportunities to reduce in some extent by elevating oxygen carries high-temperature resistance along with future research needs. Finally the sensitivity analysis is also projected to assess the strong influencing parameters that affect the system performance. • An energy-efficiency and environmental-friendly CO 2 -to-liquid fuel pathway is proposed. • Thermodynamic analysis as well as environmental assessment is included. • Economic feasibility of this novel system has also been demonstrated in detail.
