As renewable energy sources are either intermittent in nature or remote in location, developing cost-effective, sustainable, modular systems and technologies to store and transport renewables at an industrial scale is imperative. Storing cheap renewable electricity into chemical bonds (i.e., chemical energy storage) could be a transformative opportunity for reliable and resilient grid energy storage. This approach enables renewables to be stored and shipped similarly to fossil fuels. Currently, the chemical industry primarily consumes fossil feedstock as an energy source, which has been the standard for over a century. A paradigm shift is required to move toward a more sustainable route for chemical synthesis by electrifying and decarbonizing the modern chemical industry. As renewable electricity costs decrease, (photo)electrosynthesis is gaining interest for synthesizing high-value and high-energy fuels and molecules in a clean, sustainable, and decentralized manner.

通过等离子（照片）电催化管理氮循环：迈向循环经济

由于可再生能源要么是间歇性的，要么位于偏远地区，因此必须开发具有成本效益、可持续的模块化系统和技术，以工业规模存储和运输可再生能源。将廉价的可再生电力存储到化学键中（即化学储能）可能是可靠且有弹性的电网储能的变革机会。这种方法使可再生能源能够像化石燃料一样储存和运输。目前，化学工业主要消耗化石原料作为能源，这是一个多世纪以来的标准。通过现代化学工业的电气化和脱碳，需要进行范式转变，以朝着更可持续的化学合成路线迈进。随着可再生电力成本的下降，
