Det står inte hur mkt av energin som man stoppar in i processen går förlorat men om det inte är mkt sämre än vätgasproduktion så får man med etanol en mkt mera praktisk energibärare än vätgas.

Given the technique’s reliance on low-cost materials and an ability to operate at room temperature in water, the researchers believe the approach could be scaled up for industrially relevant applications. For instance, the process could be used to store excess electricity generated from variable power sources such as wind and solar.
“A process like this would allow you to consume extra electricity when it’s available to make and store as ethanol,” Rondinone said. “This could help to balance a grid supplied by intermittent renewable sources.”
