CONVERTING POWER INTO CHEMICALS AND FUELS

Understand the pivotal role that the petrochemical industry will play in the energy transition by integrating renewable or low-carbon alternatives

Power into Chemicals and Fuels stresses the versatility of hydrogen as an enabler of the renewable energy system, an energy vector that can be transported and stored, and a fuel for the transportation sector, heating of buildings and providing heat and feedstock to industry. It can reduce both carbon and local emissions, increase energy security and strengthen the economy, as well as support the deployment of renewable power generation such as wind, solar, nuclear and hydro.

With a focus on power-to-X technologies, this book discusses the production of basic petrochemicals in such a way as to minimize the carbon footprint and develop procedures that save energy or use energy from renewable sources. Various different power-to-X system configurations are introduced with discussions on their performance, environmental impact, and cost. Technologies for sustainable hydrogen production are covered, focusing on water electrolysis using renewable energy as well as consideration of the remaining challenges for large scale production and integration with other technologies.

Power into Chemicals and Fuels readers will also find:
_ Discussion of recent advances in power-into-x technologies for the production of ethylene, propylene, formic acid, and more
_ Coverage of every stage in the power-into-x process, from power generation to upgrading the final product
_ Thermodynamic, technoeconomic, and life cycle assessment analyses of each major process

Power into Chemicals and Fuels is a valuable resource for scientists and engineers working in the petrochemicals and hydrocarbons industries, as well as for all industry professionals in these and related fields.
