A dynamic catalytic conversion reactor having a plurality of operating zones is disclosed that adjusts operation based on incoming hydrogen from a fluctuating renewable energy source. The dynamic reactor is configured to turn on and off supply of feed gas to certain zones based on hydrogen supply, and maintains catalyst activity within all operating and idle zones by applying one of a number of gas flow options through the idle zones. Methods and systems of using the dynamic reactor are also disclosed.

Methods for utilizing carbon dioxide to produce multi-carbon products are disclosed. The systems and methods of the present disclosure involve: reducing COto produce a first product mixture comprising an alcohol product mixture comprising one or more alcohols and a paraffin product mixture comprising one or more paraffins; dehydrating the alcohol product mixture to form an olefin product mixture comprising one or more olefins; oligomerizing the olefin product mixture to form a higher olefin product mixture comprising unsaturated paraffins and optionally aromatics; and reducing the higher olefin product mixture to form a higher hydrocarbon product mixture comprising unsaturated paraffins and optionally aromatics. Catalyst materials and reaction conditions for individual steps are disclosed to optimize yield for ethanol or jet fuel range hydrocarbons.
