Oil is much more energy dense. Using current gen batteries, this is a cargo of about 1200t for 240MWh Oil would be 13000MWh of chemical energy. Or a replacement for 2000-7000MWh of electricity. It would never be worth transporting electricity from the oil well, but if the option is transporting oil 3000km or transporting electricity from a wind turbine 200km away, the battery-ship is a better use of the ship (but maybe not a better use of the batteries than using a wire). |
