Basics
- The Exporting of Energy from one Scale to another
- In most current literature this is almost Greenwashing for Fossil Fuel exports
- As Fossil Fuels are Phased Out , and as Supergrids emerge this can very well be with Electrical Energy
- HOWEVER as they are no longer profitable current Pipeline Transport systems may become available for other uses
- IF there would be sufficient ammount of Bio-Fuels or Power-to-X fuel to justify Pipeline Monitoring + Maitenence for the GIANT systems the fossil fuel industry uses is a question that would need to be answered.
- This would be AT LEAST county level, and most likely state and up
- Things such as tanker ships, and rail may be more economical (and envirmentally sound due to the risk of pipeline spills, but this is debatable and most biofuels, or especially raw feedstocks are less toxic than their fossil fuel counterparts (IE Charcoal vs Petrochemical Coal no mercury etc) )
- The energy carriers would most likely be:
- Hydrogen
- Methane / Bio-Methane
- Butanol
- Others are less likely but possible (all Biofuels, as well as precursurs such as Bio-Crude Oil , Charcoal Slurry , and Pyrolysis Oil )
- IF there would be sufficient ammount of Bio-Fuels or Power-to-X fuel to justify Pipeline Monitoring + Maitenence for the GIANT systems the fossil fuel industry uses is a question that would need to be answered.
