[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7734566, member: 54866"] Methanol and ammonia make a lot more sense than hydrogen in many ways. The fact engine manufacturers are naturally trying to drop hydrogen in as a replacement makes me laugh as they are clearly trying to avoid having their technologies they have spent billions on being killed off by something else. Electrolysis is hideously inefficient and requires some serious electricity to carry it out. The numbers involved will be out of this world if you want to do it with PV and wind power as the scale of fossil fuel consumption is insane even for a little country like the UK. If hydrogen is the selected option then it would be a lot easier to produce it using process heat from nuclear reactors but this is technology no one has yet managed to scale on an industrial level. Can you imagine nuclear power being the same scale as the fossil fuel industry today? [/QUOTE]
