Rice University researchers have determined a more effective way to use natural gas to reduce climate-warming emissions would be in the replacement of existing coal-fired power plants and fuel-oil furnaces rather than burning it in cars and buses. However, residential uses and exports of natural gas were not considered in those comparisons.

IHS expects that during the next 11 years, the number of available FCEV models will jump to 17 from the current three (Toyota Mirai, Hyundai ix35/Tucson and the Honda Clarity), as more OEMs add FCEVs to their product portfolios. However,this will only represent less than 0.1% of all vehicles produced, according to IHS Automotive forecasts.

Large scale production of methanol from natural gas and coal is a well-developed. Sufficient feedstock of natural gas and coal exists to enable the use of non-renewable methanol as a transition fuel to renewable methanol from biomass, they suggested. Methanol from non-renewable coal or natural gas could be used as a bridging.

There are several reasons for this approach and understanding a little more about fuel cell vehicles may explain why.

In order to understand fleet electrification, let’s first take a look at electrification in general: Electrification is the process of replacing technologies that use fossil fuels (such as oil, coal and natural gas) with those that use electricity as an energy source.

However, we say similar things with EVs – even if an EV is charged with full coal power , it’s still cleaner than a gas car, and as the grid cleans up, the EV cleans up too. But all of that is a long way off. So you have to put some trucks on the road so there’s a reason to do it.

Furthermore, unlike coal and oil, it is a clean energy source that produces only water vapor and leaves no residue in the air. According to the International Energy Agency, global demand for hydrogen as a fuel has quadrupled since 1975, reaching 70 million tonnes per year in 2018. Hydrogen has a long history of working with industry.

Sorry, but electrics and electric power plants are so efficient that CO2 emissions are less than gassers even when the electricity comes from coal - and a lot of electricity doesnt come from coal. Well, the cheapest source is from steam reformed fossil fuels, and that process produces CO2, especially when that fossil fuel is coal.

That being said, even a car that derives its energy from coal power plants would be far more clean. Having centralized energy production in that way allows for centralized pollution control measures, filters, so-called "clean coal" rather than depending on X number of cars, manufacturers, and consumers to deal with pollution control.
