I googled a bit. Seems ethylene is pretty close to what I was pondering and they do the whole turbine deal when they manufacture it. Except Their machines are scaled a bit more than I was thinking about.

A typical world scale ethylene plant (about 1.5 billion pounds of ethylene per year) uses a 45,000 horsepower cracked gas compressor, a 30,000 horsepower propylene compressor, and a 15,000 horsepower ethylene compressor
I'm not sure if one could make a 45,000 horsepower gas cracker that runs on solar power very easily. Hell I don't even run a microwave.
