The hydrogen can then be transported through the natural gas grid via blending or further conversion to methane, transported by other means such as trucks, or used directly at the point of production. Constraining storage solutions to “electricity-in, electricity-out” only will increase the cost of intermittency.

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. The future grid will face significant challenges by providing clean power from intermittent resources to a much more dynamic load. This conversion produces a short, powerful burst of energy, such as needed to jump start a vehicle.

Reply ↓ ↑ report 6 CaramelZappa 3:20AM (4/23/2009) Yea, you COULD convert a lotus for $10k but the conversion wouldnt be terribly satisfying. link] This guy has a very nice looking conversion, he managed to do it for about 25k. The combined electrical storage efficiency of charger and batteries is 85%.
