“…Instead, the process concept should be well-defined, considering technological features and industry trends. Modular plant or decentralized production process has been identified as a promising feature, allowing flexibility in location and scale, supporting local sourcing strategies, and reducing transportation costs [37]. This aligns with the current trend in the chemical industry toward electrification and renewable energy.…”

Plasma-based processes, particularly in carbon capture and utilization, hold great potential for addressing environmental challenges and advancing a circular carbon economy. While significant progress has been made in understanding plasma-induced reactions, plasma-catalyst interactions, and reactor development to enhance energy efficiency and conversion, there remains a notable gap in research concerning overall process development. This review emphasizes the critical need for considerations at the process level, including integration and intensification, to facilitate the industrialization of plasma technology for chemical production. Discussions centered on the development of plasma-based processes are made with a primary focus on CO2 conversion, offering insights to guide future work for the transition of the technology from laboratory scale to industrial applications. Identification of current research gaps, especially in upscaling and integrating plasma reactors with other process units, is the key to addressing critical issues. The review further delves into relevant research in process evaluation and assessment, providing methodological insights and highlighting key factors for comprehensive economic and sustainability analyses. Additionally, recent advancements in novel plasma systems are reviewed, presenting unique advantages and innovative concepts that could reshape the future of process development. This review provides essential information for navigating the path forward, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of challenges and opportunities in the development of plasma-based CCU process.

“…DFC requires H 2 as a feed, and there are numerous technologies for (small-scale) hydrogen production. , When H 2 is needed to be produced remotely, H 2 storage plays a significant role in production method selection. Numerous studies have proposed the idea of a methanol-based economy, and there has been significant progress in its renewable production and usage .…”

Desalination fuel cell (DFC) is an electrochemical cell driven by hydrogen− oxygen redox reactions to simultaneously generate electricity and desalted water. Methanol reforming (MR), although being a relatively well-established method for H 2 generation, produces CO 2 and small amounts of CO. While the detrimental effect of CO on proton exchange membrane fuel cells has been extensively studied, the effect of CO on DFC performance has not yet been investigated. In this study, we introduce a novel integrated MR−DFC system and investigate its performance characteristics experimentally. Specifically, we examined the system's response to the presence of CO 2 and CO in the MR outlet stream that is directly fed to the DFC inlet. Our findings reveal a decrease in the open-circuit voltage (OCV) and limiting current when utilizing the MR outlet as a feed, although the ohmic region remains intact and the desalination process is not affected significantly. Rotating disk electrode (RDE) tests were conducted to validate the observed reduction in the OCV. A stability test was conducted for 25 h, revealing that feeding the MR outlet to DFC initially provides a similar discharge current to that with pure H 2 feed, followed by certain degradation that was attributed to CO poisoning. Our study provides valuable insights into the performance of the integrated MR-DFC unit, advancing the development of this sustainable water-power system.
