Hydrogen and electricity do share of generating facilities that convert primary energy sources an important characteristic -- namely, both energy carriers are into electricity, transmit that electric power at high voltage derived from other primary energy resources, another fact over distances ranging from a few miles to hundreds of miles, that may prove to be synergistic. Figure 5.1 shows schematiand distribute it, at reduced voltages, to an array of custom- cally the various ways in which the stationary power sector ers ranging from residences to large, industrial complexes.
