Future marine fuels

Not everybody think that Methanol is the Marine Fuel of the Future:

A last point which is potentially a huge one: a molecule of clean methanol is the exact same as a molecule of dirty methanol which is a very strong invitation for fraud. So it seems that even without looking at the CO2 reduction merits of methanol on a lifecycle basis, methanol cannot be the fuel of the future for shipping although there is no doubt methanol will be used to power some ships as in fact it is already used. Methanol will be a micro solution not a macro solution and the same goes for ammonia and hydrogen.
