Solar heat for the decarbonization of chemical industry: dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene driven by a concentrating solar power plant with molten salts as heat transfer fluids

The dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene was used as a model of an energy intensive endothermic process to assess the economic sustainability of the utilization of solar heat from a concentrating solar power (CSP) plant to decarbonize an industrial chemical processes.To this purpose a process...
