There is in fact no such issue because literally no one is even considering producing hydrogen for energy storage in that way.

- Manuel_D 4y agoThen how is hydrogen going to be stored? Electrolysis remains either inefficient or expensive.
- pencilguin 4y agoStorage method has exactly nothing to do with production method. Electrolysis efficiency and expense are entirely sufficient to requirements for the hydrogen storage projects are, in fact, proceeding.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoInefficiency doesn't matter if you are storing curtailed energy. If it makes more financial sense and uses less resources to overbuild solar 3x and curtail 60% of the energy than paying for fuel, then you have 2 units of energy you have already paid for spread out over 6-8hrs/day. As long as using your $300/kw electrolyser at reduced duty cycle is cheaper and less resource intensive than mining and shipping gas, you do it.
