10. Exactly. Methanol from where?
That's a problem with hydrogen. Many of the places were you can get it, you might be better off using it as it. Methanol is wood alcohol (the kind of alcohol that will literally blind you.) It's highly toxic, could be used as a fuel as is, or used to convert vegetable oils into biodiesel.

And while it can be sourced from renewable sources, it is much cheaper (and thus more likely) to source it from good old coal.
