How Do Catalysts Enhance Efficiency and Reduce Environmental Impact?
Catalysts increase the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. In fossil fuel industries, they enhance efficiency and contribute to environmental sustainability by:
Lowering Reaction Temperatures: Catalysts allow reactions to occur at lower temperatures, thus reducing energy consumption. Selective Catalysis: They enable selective production of desired products, minimizing waste and by-products. Emission Control: Catalysts are employed in technologies such as catalytic converters to reduce harmful emissions from combustion engines.
