Several factors make distributed catalysis an attractive option:
1. Resource Utilization: It allows the utilization of locally available feedstocks, reducing transportation costs and environmental impact. 2. Scalability: Smaller, modular units can be scaled up or down based on demand without significant infrastructure investment. 3. Resilience: Distributed systems can be more resilient to disruptions, as they don't rely on a single point of failure. 4. Energy Efficiency: Localized energy production and consumption can minimize losses typically associated with long-distance energy transmission.
