Methanol would be a better way to store hydrogen for the H2Clipper than liquid hydrogen.
1. Methanol would be safer since it can be stored as a liquid without the need to for cryogenic cooling
2. Methanol could store substantially hydrogen than liquid hydrogen per volume, nearly doubling the range of the H2Clipper
3. Methanol is potentially carbon negative if derived from urban, agricultural, and forest bio waste since the pyrolysis of bio waste could produce methane for methanol production and carbon rich bio-char to enhance soil fertility and water retention for agriculture and aforestation.
"We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. " John F. Kennedy
"The knowledge that we have now is but a fraction of the knowledge we must get, whether for peaceful use or for national defense. We must depend on intensive research to acquire the further knowledge we need ... These are truths that every scientist knows. They are truths that the American people need to understand." (Harry S. Truman 1948).
"The greatest long-term threat to U.S. national security is not terrorists wielding a nuclear or biological weapon, but the erosion of America's place as a world leader in science and technology."
Gordon England: 1st Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security and former Secretary of the Navy
