This paper compares the transmission, by barge and pipeline, of gaseous hydrogen, liquid hydrogen, and ammonia, as energy carriers, with transmission of electricity in submarine cables from an OTEC plant. Because hydrogen energy and electrical energy are not equivalent, comparison requires assuming the outputs are converted to a common form. Thus, we present the delivered cost and overall energy efficiency of hydrogen, ammonia, and electricity as well as a discussion of the equipment, costs and efficiencies of converting hydrogen and ammonia into electricity, and OTEC mechanical energy into hydrogen and ammonia. Converting electricity to chemical commodities and energies was not assessed.
