Being the most abundant source of energy available to humankind, solar energy can play a prominent role among these strategies to attain a decarbonised chemical sector. The impressive supply of solar energy is complemented by its versatility.
Opus 12 claims the production of 16 commodity chemicals via PEM electrolysis and Sunfire (Germany) used SOEC in the conversion of CO 2 to fuels (diesel) via the Fischer–Tropsch process. In the previous section, we presented the main applications and advances of solar energy and feedstocks in the context of the chemical industry.
Considering the need for clean fuel and chemical production from abundant waste streams and considering solar energy being the most abundant and cheapest energy form available, solar reforming is an obvious and well-positioned emerging technology to support the transition from today's linear to a future's circular chemical industry.
With appropriate light harvesting, catalyst design, device configurations and waste pre-treatment strategies, a range of sustainable fuels and value-added chemicals can already be selectively produced from diverse waste feedstocks, including biomass and plastics, demonstrating the potential of solar-powered upcycling plants.
Solar power has emerged as one of the most feasible solutions. It''s abundant, renewable, and provides the energy necessary for both electricity and heat in chemical plants. By integrating
