- funcDropShadow 5y agoBut the details may differ. If you can generate the synthetic fuel near the energy source, let's say a wind, farm you can shift the cost of transportation from one medium to another. That opens up possibilities to optimize on a network scale. In Germany, there is a pipeline network to transport and store natural gas to many many places. That transport is happening without trucks or ships driving around, I assume there are some pumps involved. But you don't have to move overhead mass.
