Review demonstrates the role of catalysis in transforming energy carriers, highlighting flexible chemical pathways to reduce oil dependence and maintain global energy security.

Key Points

To assess how industrial catalysis provides flexible chemical routes to transition from petroleum dependence toward sustainable and diversified energy carriers.
Evaluated commodity chemical process technologies across traditional and emerging fuel production pathways.
Analyzed industrial conversion routes involving refinery operations, synthetic fuels, and hydrogen systems.
Catalytic technologies enable flexible interconversion among diverse primary feedstocks, energy carriers, and end-use conversion devices.
Established large-scale processes, including steam reforming and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, provide adaptable frameworks for integrating alternative fuels alongside conventional fossil resources.
