A systematic analysis is presented of the production of hydrogen and methanol from biomass, and the use of these fuels in fuel cell and internal combustion engine vehicles. Comparisons are made among these options and with gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine vehicles, with regard to performance, cost, and environmental and energy security impacts. It is found that the fuel cell vehicle options offer major energy security and environmental advantages and may well be able to complete with the gasoline-based internal combustion engine on a lifecycle cost basis, despite the prospect of higher biofuels costs and higher first costs for fuel cell vehicles. While the methanol fuel cell option is likely to be less costly than the hydrogen fuel cell option and to be easier to implement, the hydrogen fuel cell option offers much greater long-term energy security and environmental benefits.
