Ethylene and propylene are critical pillars of the petrochemical and plastics industry. The current industrial route for producing these olefins, which is via steam cracking process, is extremely endothermic and highly CO2-intensive. In this work, Susteon, in partnership with the North Carolina State University (NCSU), New Castle University (NU), and SoCalGas, has investigate catalytic materials and process designs to produce propylene from propane by utilizing CO2 as a soft oxidant in the presence of low temperature dielectric barrier discharge plasma. This route integrates the effect of catalysis and the presence of a plasma environment to intensify the production of the important three carbon olefin from propane at a lower temperature and near atmospheric pressure. This CO2 oxidative dehydrogenation (CO2-ODH) process coproduces CO, which is a valuable by-product, critical for the petrochemical sector. Through this work, Susteon and the team have made significant progress in developing catalysts and gaining insights on the plasma-assisted CO2-ODH process.
