So if they ban fuel powered cars being sold from 2030 that still leaves all the cars sold on Dec 31st 2029 which will have an approximate ten year life span. I see petrol and diesel being sold for a while yet.

LNG is a viable fuel and there is plenty around the world being 'mined' and transported. It is already used in ships diesels and boilers to reduce emissions. It has been trailed successfully in large lorries in the US. LNG bunker barges are available in Rotterdam and other large European ports.

It is basically what we all use in our homes so the only change to infrastructure would be the need to cool it down to -160C for liquifaction and storage. It's no big deal, it's done in many plants around the world and even on some ships at the moment.

A replacement fuel, even if it happens, is not going to be something you burn to create carbon dioxide. That's the whole point.

Whatever does happen - whether it ends up being hydrogen or electricity - massive infrastructure changes will be required. Electricity will need more capacity everywhere. Hydrogen could repurpose some natural gas infrastructure, but would still require a huge amount of work - hydrogen will leak out of much smaller holes than natural gas.

Of course, this doesn't happen all at once. The big advantage for electric is that it can be done gradually as electric car ownership increases and (theoretically) infrastructure can keep up with demand.

Other countries will do different things. It's a weak argument to not do something just in case someone else doesn't do it. Even weaker when dealing with China, who have the advantage (in this case) of central planning and a totalitarian government. They can change direction very quickly.
