The challenge of using synthesized chemicals for energy storage exists for quite some time indeed. For aviation and marine there may be no other option outside of synthetic fuels, I agree.
Can this scale up? Or is this a small scale only solution?
Transportation. How much energy would a truck be able to move? How does it compare to a tank truck? Weight is absolutely relevant here.
Also, production. Consider that reducing iron is measured by millions of tons per year per plant, and right now, it's done burning it with plain old coal.
Seems very odd to me the subtitle of the news is 'carbon free fuel'. That alone is a massive bullshit indicator, but I digress.
How something that may have a 10% global energy recovery efficiency could beat a pure redox power storage solution? This question has been avoided so far.
