The collection titled “Analyzing chemical processes for the energy transition”.
Excerpt – “Chemical processes are central to a cleaner energy future, not only by enabling the efficient production and use of more sustainable fuels, but also in improving energy efficiency across industrial systems. In this cross-journal Collection from Nature Energy and Nature Chemical Engineering, we bring together content that focuses on assessing chemical processes to advance the energy transition. This Collection contains three sections: Editorial perspectives, process design (including optimization and scale-up) and system-level analysis. By addressing key challenges such as coupling chemical processes with intermittent energy supply and strategies for carbon mitigation, the works in this Collection offer insights into creating scalable, sustainable, and economically viable solutions. Collectively, they underscore the importance of engineering at the nexus of energy systems and chemical production in driving global decarbonization efforts.”
