It's possible to easily transport water long distances by sending hydrogen by pipe to dry areas and using it to make electricity, with the by product being water.
The energy retrieved as electricity is not going to be as much as the energy required to produce the hydrogen, but when you consider the energy saved by transporting hydrogen gas instead of water, it might be economical
- wrycoder 5y agoIt takes less energy to transport a mole of hydrogen gas by pipeline than a mole of water? I haven’t heard of that before - do you happen to have a reference handy? Isn’t the moles/sec of hydrogen versus water much lower for a given sized pipe? Is the wall thickness of a conventional gas pipeline adequate for this use?
- okareaman 5y agoNo, I don't have a reference. I assumed a gas would take less energy to transport, but mole for mole, I could be wrong.
