      No it’s not a good idea.

      It’s extremely inefficent compared to just using elecricity directly for whatever you’re planning to do with it.

        Still a good idea for specific cases though. An example from current news close to me: We have line ships on lake Zürich that can’t be electrified because either they are too old to sustain a major internal rework or, for some, they can’t carry the battery weight.

        For a case like that I’d prefer if they put some CO2 capture stations up to keep running the ships rather than scrapping them prematurely.

        … if the capture stations work, that is. Can’t trust the word of a startup too much.
