We show the potential of advanced molecular dynamics techniques to obtain insight into the complex MTO process by thoroughly studying proton mobility and mapping free energy surfaces of reaction steps at high temperature. The applied methodology can be used to unravel any complex zeolitic process at the nanometer scale level.
