Methanol might be more practical. Theoretically, you could put floating wind turbines onto the sea in places that have almost uninterrupted wind (they are mostly far from land, though), let them produce methanol and use it as a e-fuel. It is much easier to transport and store.
- pfdietz 2y agoFrom what I've been told, if you have salt formations for hydrogen storage (and Europe does) then hydrogen is better than trying to use methanol. The latter is much more complicated and has lower round trip efficiency, involving storing not just methanol, but also CO2 and oxygen (from electrolysis, to use in oxyfuel combustion to help recycle the CO2).
