Catalytic hydrogenation, a process involving hydrogen, catalysts, and hydrogenation, is a powerful tool used in various industries. Key contributors like Wilhelm Ostwald and Paul Sabatier have played a significant role in its development. Notably, the hydrogenation of benzene is a major industrial application, producing cyclohexane. Catalytic hydrogenation has also gained importance in green chemistry, contributing to energy storage, fuel cells, and the hydrogen economy. As a key aspect of the energy transition, it enables the utilization of hydrogen as a clean energy source, fostering a sustainable future.
