The utilization of methane for chemical production, often considered as the future of petrochemistry, historically could not compete economically with conventional processes due to higher investment costs. Achieving sustainability and decarbonization of the downstream industry by integration with a methane-to-chemicals process may provide an opportunity to unlock the future for these technologies. Gas-to-chemicals is an efficient tool to boost the decarbonization potential of renewable energy. While the current implementation of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies is of great importance for industrial decarbonization, a shift to greener CO-free processes and CO utilization from external sources for manufacturing valuable goods is highly preferred. This review outlines potential options for how a methane-to-chemicals process could support decarbonization of the downstream industry.
甲烷用于化学生产，常被视为石油化学的未来，但由于投资成本较高，在历史上无法在经济上与传统工艺竞争。通过与甲烷制化学品工艺相结合来实现下游行业的可持续发展和脱碳，可能为这些技术的未来发展提供契机。天然气制化学品是提高可再生能源脱碳潜力的有效工具。虽然目前碳捕获利用与封存（CCUS）技术的应用对工业脱碳至关重要，但向更绿色的无CO工艺以及利用外部来源的CO制造有价值产品的转变更受青睐。本综述概述了甲烷制化学品工艺如何支持下游行业脱碳的潜在选择。
