Methanol is a petrol and not suitable as a diesel fuel component, but can be dehydrated to form dimethyl ether (DME) with a high cetane number. The comparative figure for diesel is 113 g/km CO 2.). In a 2011 study, a team from MAN Truck & Bus noted that: CO 2 can be recycled into methanol by reaction with electrolysis hydrogen.

They do so in critical part by ignoring the carbon emitted as CO 2 from the exhaust pipes of vehicles that use biofuels, as well as the CO2 emitted by fermentation. In the case of ethanol, that CO 2 is equal to 107 g MJ -1 , which by itself is roughly 25% more than the entire lifecycle emissions of petrol according to typical estimates.

In addition, it is subject to similar refining, storage and distribution costs currently associated with petrol and diesel, including upstream CO2 emissions where the electricity required is usually generated from fossil fuels. Fourth, like all fossil fuels hydrogen is highly volatile, far more so than petrol.

Note the clarification of Zero Co2 at the point of use. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all normal matter. Liquified hydrogen may be as light as petrol or kerosene, but keeping it at -257C requires much heavier apparatus. Zero CO 2 at point of use.”

We would recommend signalling a phase-out date for new petrol vehicles between 2030 and 2032, and confirming that in law in 2024/2025. On the demand side, an ICE phase-out is easy to communicate to consumers, which will increase the perception that petrol-powered vehicles are becoming socially unacceptable.

Unlike battery-powered electric vehicles, FCEVs can go over 500 kilometers on a full tank of hydrogen and can be refueled in 2-3 minutes, exactly like regular petrol/diesel cars. Unlike Lithium, hydrogen is the most plentiful element in the universe ( Lithium is the key component in electric vehicle batteries).

The resulting fuel efficiency improvements mean lower CO2 emissions and less fossil fuel consumption and, therefore, less pollution. "People wont buy a full car.
