Location Planning for the Production of CO2-Based Chemicals Using the Example of Olefin Production
The use of CO2 as raw material is increasingly gaining in importance as an option for climate protection and as an alternative raw material feedstock. Both direct electrochemical syntheses and thermochemical processes are associated with a high demand for electrical energy. A contribution to climate protection is only possible in the case of low-carbon power generation, as can be realized, e.g., by wind power or solar energy. This article presents a methodology for identifying suitable sites for the CO2-based production of olefins in Germany.
