I am waiting for the day when there is an affordable (<$5k? <$10k as an absolute maximum) residential system that can run on home solar and produce ethanol/hydrogen/ammonia/whatever combustible fuel from excess electricity. Round trip efficiency can be horrible, so long as the system is low maintenance and can be configured to run exclusively off of spare generation.
Is anything like that on the horizon? Or do all of these liquid fuel synthesis options require industrial pressures/volumes/input electricity so as to forever be out of reach from residential synthesis?
