Key Points

Plasma cracking achieves ethylene yields of 50–60%, offering a viable pathway for carbon-neutral production.
The life cycle assessment highlights significant reductions in emissions compared to traditional methods.
This analysis employs techno-economic criteria to evaluate the economic feasibility of plasma cracking.
Findings suggest that plasma technology could revolutionize the naphtha cracking process, enhancing sustainability.

Implication

Techno-economic analysis shows improved ethylene yields using plasma cracking, indicating carbon neutrality potential.

Abstract

Plasma cracking of naphtha represents a promising electrification pathway for carbon-neutral ethylene production. It operates at high temperatures (3,000–6,000 K) in non-oxidative environments, achieving superior ethylene yields (50–60%) while eliminating...
