Read an interesting article about ammonia powering cars.
With the costs associated with hydrogen manufacturing and storage, the costs and weight of electric cars etc.. the next step is ammonia which is hydrogen rich. The manufacture and storge is done at gas station [ no pun intended ] A simple ammonia generator using water for hydrogen and air for nitrogen. The cost of generator is fractionally cheaper than hydrogen manufacture. Quotes $0.30 per litre, before taxes of course. No residual emissions or waste.
