In this paper I present lessons learnt and future perspectives in heterogeneous catalysis for different intensification strategies including, membrane reactors, structured reactors and process electrification with microwaves.2025http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/16997410.1016/j.cep.2025.110691http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/169974oai:zaguan.unizar.es:169974CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND PROCESSING 221 (2025), 110691 [5 pp.]by-nchttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.esinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
