TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared coal and coal derived synthetic fluid fossil fuels with hydrogen and showed that hydrogen is a much more cost effective energy carrier than coal and synthetic fossil fuels, as well as being the environmentally most compatible fuel.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Clean Air Act deadline requiring use of alternate fuels in many localities approaches, most attention centers on oxygenates and reformulated gasolines. But some people, notably Danilo J. Santini of Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, and Cesare Marchetti of the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis, Vienna, believe that natural gas will become the world's dominant fuel because natural gas can be used both as is and as a feedstock for other, more energy-dense fuels.
Abstract: As the Clean Air Act deadline requiring use of alternate fuels in many localities approaches, most attention centers on oxygenates and reformulated gasolines. Less discussed but distinctly possible alternatives are compressed natural gas (CNG), liquified natural gas (LNG), and liquified petroleum gas (LPG). Debate continues about the efficacy of the various alternate fuels. But some people—notably Danilo J. Santini of Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, and Cesare Marchetti of the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis, Vienna—believe that natural gas will become the world's dominant fuel because natural gas can be used both as is and as a feedstock for other, more energy-dense fuels. Just how natural gas fits into the fuel picture was described by Argonne researcher Frank Stodolsky at the recent national meeting of the American Chemical Society held in San Francisco. One of the considerations in assessing merits of the various possible fuels is their potential for promotion of the greenho...
