Decarbonizing Complex Chemical Processes via Heat Electrification: A Case Study on Acetic Acid Hydrogenation to Ethanol

Abstract Low-temperature process heat (<400 °C) electrification is a promising decarbonization pathway, yet its effectiveness depends on process design, grid carbon intensity (CI), and electricity costs. Here, we evaluate electrification of ethanol production via acetic acid hydr...
