Natural gas appears to be the fuel of choice for fuel cell hydrogen.  Natural gas can be used to make hydrogen.  Natural gas is ubiquitous.

Shell Hydrogen appears to have the lead in developing fuel for fuel cells.  Other market participants appear to have promising technologies.  Shell Hydrogen, Hydro-Québec, and Gesellschaft fur Elektrometallurgie (GfE) have established a joint venture for developing, manufacturing and marketing hydrogen storage products.  Gesellschaft fur Elektrometallurgie (GfE) is a German alloy company.  The partners are convinced that metal hydrides provide the best means of safely and reliably storing hydrogen.

There is a vast difference between the cost of a refueling station for natural gas conversion to hydrogen and methanol as illustrated hereafter -- $1.2 million for natural gas versus $68,000 for methanol in 2005.

However, the natural gas route just takes capital.  Once the refueling infrastructure is built, fuel cells will take hold in the market.

The cost of these natural gas refueling depots at $1.2 million each in 2005 is expected to drop to $300,000 per station by 2011.
