Methane synthesis is a potential solution. Simpler infrastructure/reuse of existing infrastructure.
Or potentially methanol (and better yet, butanol, which is easier to deal with than methanol, less corrosive, less hydroscopic).
- marmarama 5y agoHydrogen as a replacement fuel for vehicles is a dead duck. Batteries have won there. Hydrogen, or zero net carbon hydrocarbons synthesized from it, is a good fit where energy density exceeds what current lithium chemistry batteries can provide, like aeroplanes, or rockets.
