abstract = {Hydrogen (H2) production through water electrolysis is
widely discussed as a means of storing renewable electricity
in chemical bonds. Hydrogen can be used for transportation
in fuel cell vehicles, but it can also be reacted with
carbon dioxide (CO2) to form other fuels. While many
concepts have been proposed, detailed comparisons of
different pathways are still scarce. Herein, we present a
technical, environmental, and economic comparison of direct
H2 use in fuel cells, and production of methane, methanol,
and dimethyl ether (DME) for use in internal combustion
engines for light-duty vehicle applications. The scenario
considered uses renewable electricity for water
electrolysis, and CO2 which is supplied continuously from
biogas upgrading. All four fuels enable significant
reductions $(79–93\%)$ in well-to-wheel greenhouse gas
emissions as well as pollutant formation compared to fossil
fuels, but they require very cheap H2 to be competitive to
fossil fuels, confirming intuitive expectations. While
direct use of H2 has obvious advantages (no conversion
losses, high efficiency of fuel cells compared to internal
combustion engines) in terms of overall electricity
consumption, emissions, and fuel cost, its drawbacks
compared to the other fuels are the need for an H2
infrastructure, the high fueling pressure, and lower driving
range. Among the three combustion engine fuels, DME has the
lowest fuel cost and electricity consumption per distance
driven because of the more efficient use of H2 in its
production, as well as the highest volumetric energy
density, while methane has slightly lower greenhouse gas
emissions. Cost and energy demand are dominated by H2
supply, meaning that integrated solutions could be more
attractive than separate electrolysis and fuel production.},
