Abstract
Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, have become increasingly prevalent and helped drive progress toward decarbonization of electricity. Renewable energy sources are often discussed in the context of the electrical grid, transportation, and household devices. However, the commodity chemical industry is a large consumer of energy and a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonizing the chemical industry would have a significant impact on global carbon dioxide emissions, and electrification of the industry using renewable sources is a possible step toward reducing the carbon footprint of chemicals.
