"Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier". In other words, a hydrocarbon! Does not sound as wholesome without the word "organic".
Japan launches first global hydrogen supply chain demo project; liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology
Four Japanese companies—Chiyoda, Mitsubishi, Mitsui and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha—have launched the “Advanced Hydrogen Energy Chain Association for Technology Development”(AHEAD) along with the world’s first Global Hydrogen Supply Chain Demonstration Project. The project, a subsidized “Techn...
I just checked and Toyota's Mirai fuel cell vehicle has a range of about 300 miles, or about 450 km, similar to the Model S.
CEA LITEN develops high-temperature electrolyzer for more efficient hydrogen production from water
France’s CEA LITEN (Laboratory for Innovation in New Energy Technologies and Nanomaterials) has developed a new high-temperature electrolysis system for more efficient hydrogen production. The system delivers hydrogen from steam at 150 °C and electricity with power consumption of 3.9 kWh/Nm3 (n...
So if Toyota's fuel cell car requires about 5 Kg of hydrogen to travel about 600 km, then this would require 220 kWh of energy to produce this hydrogen. If a Tesla model S with the 85 kWh pack requires about 100 kWh to charge the pack (assuming a 15%) loss, to travel about 450 km, then would it not make sense to use electrical energy in a BEV instead of using it to make hydrogen? Please comment, perhaps I am missing something.

@Davemart:
You are inserting an oxygen atom between a carbon atom and hydrogen atom to make an alcohol. You do not need carbon, only oxygen. On another note, thallium is extremely toxic and trifluoroacetic acid is extremely corrosive, so this process is not likely scalable.
Researchers develop new lower-temperature process for conversion of natural gas alkanes to alcohols
Researchers from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and Brigham Young University have devised a new and more efficient method to convert natural gas into liquid products at much lower temperatures than conventional methods. Their work, reported in the journal Science, uses main-group metals...
NaClO4 (sodium perchlorate) is actually far more stable than one would think. And when it does act as an oxidizer, it transfers its oxygen and the other product is sodium chloride (i.e. salt). It does not release toxic chlorine gas.
New Na-ion battery combining intercalation and conversion could be promising low-cost energy storage system

NP, if it makes you feel better, the Alberta Tarsands are loaded with vanadium. When they process the stuff, the petroleum coke fly ash has lots of it. Mining of the tarsands is not slowing down, so maybe we can use the vanadium in the meantime to transition to a greener future!
Researchers propose new VO2 cathode material for aluminum-ion rechargeable battery
Schematic representation of the super-valent battery during charge/discharge process. Wang et al. Click to enlarge. A team from the University of Science and Technology Beijing is proposing a new super-valent battery based on aluminium ion intercalation and deintercalation. In an open acces...
