Solar-to-X enables industrial defossilization turning power to molecules or materials

The industry sector is most challenging to defossilize, due to high energy and feedstock demand, large and continuously running production plants, hard-to-abate process emissions, and infrastructural challenges. In public discourse, hydrogen is discussed prominently for industry, but its role may be overestimated. Solar PV as the least cost source of electricity may bring the electrification of industry to the next level.Electrons versus molecules in industry: Key insights from a comparative study A public debate similar to the transport (battery electric vehicles versus fuel cell electric vehicles) ...
