Why don't we just burn the natural gas, ethanol, or methanol in a conventional engine?
I have heard these processes proposed as "stopgap" measures because they use the existing infrastructure. The idea (I think) is that this will get enough fuel cells in service to justify the development of a "real" H2 infrastructure. We may live long enough to see this happen?
