What is the cost of usable energy for driving and heating our homes?

Green Car Congress

This analysis compares the costs of usable energy when we buy gasoline and electricity for driving and natural gas for keeping warm. The average retail cost of regular gasoline in 2018 was $2.719 per gallon. Consequently, the average cost of the available energy from gasoline is $0.226 per 10,000 Btu. by Michael Sivak.

Monash team proposes roadmap to renewable ammonia economy; 3 generations of technology

Green Car Congress

While there is global potential to generate renewable energy at costs already competitive with fossil fuels, a means of storing and transporting this energy at a very large scale is a roadblock to large-scale investment, development and deployment. Modern H-B plants produce ammonia at an energy cost of at least 8 MWh tonne -1.
