Conversions are expensive. Methane is ideal for homes, since most are
already connected to natural gas infrastructure.

Methane is piss-poor in cars, since requiring either cryogenic or
high-pressure storage, both of it nonviable. Methanol made from
methane (via the synthesis gas route) or hydrogen (buckytube or
hydride-absorbed) would make more sense there.
