[QUOTE="HatsOff, post: 8120889, member: 158216"] There are a lot higher energy losses doing electrolysis compared to direct use of the electricity or even short term storage in lithium batteries. kWh per kWh you'd be better off replacing gas cookers with induction hobs and electric cookers than injecting hydrogen into the grid. For things like farm machinery and heavy industry, hydrogen could definitely play a role. But I can't see it replacing car vehicle batteries or natural gas heating. Edit - unless we build a lot of nuclear power stations and they get hydrogen made overnight to soak up the spare energy. But that is years and years away. [/QUOTE]
