Nowadays, the development of new technologies for the manufacturing of key building blocks in the petrochemical sector, is becoming a priority. The well-known side effects that the growing worldwide energy demand has on the planet, is one of the main motivations. When it comes to olefins, ethylene is one of the most requested compounds in the world due to its versatility in the production of high added-value products. Although steam cracking is currently the dominant technology for the industrial production of light olefins, its disadvantages and limitations are vast, e.g. high endothermicity, low selectivity, thermodynamic limitations, coke formation, etc. This scenario has encouraged the study of alternative processes.
