Abstract
The diversity and the flexibility of raw materials are crucial aspects of sustainability in the chemical industry. The key enabler for raw material change is heterogeneous catalysis. Being a well-established family of nanoporous materials, zeolites have historically been of paramount importance for the chemical industry as heterogeneous catalysts with high surface areas, enhanced activity and shape/size-selective character in numerous chemical reactions. As a result of these characteristics, zeolites are also destined to play a pivotal role in the quest for raw material change as catalysts providing the required selectivity towards base chemicals, ensuring the sustainability of the chemical industry.
