Claim 18:
19. A method for material activation, comprising:
receiving, by a thermal energy storage (TES) system of a material activation system, energy supplied by an energy source;
storing, by the TES system, the received energy as thermal energy by heating a storage medium with the received energy;
circulating, by a blower in the TES system, a non-combustive fluid through the heated storage medium, wherein the non-combustive fluid includes carbon dioxide;
receiving, by a material heating system of the material activation system, the circulated non-combustive fluid; and
applying, by a calciner in the material activation system, thermal energy derived from the circulated non-combustive fluid to a supply of calcium carbonate, wherein applying the thermal energy removes carbon dioxide from the calcium carbonate.
