I bet you'd need a vehicle the size of a locomotive to (1) carry the processor that converts the ammonia tablet into hydrogen, and (2) processes the hydrogen to provide energy to drive the vehicle.

Ammonia NH3 is made from many sources as is methane and natural gas.

Usually. Plus there's the buring question about burning
the resultant H2. If the oxidizer is air, there will also
be NOx by-products.

Plus, any "real"(TM) enviro-wacko will complain that the
system can't be 100% efficient, and the lost energy is
"heat pollution".

Actually its made from nitrogen and hydrogen, but the hydrogen is generally made from natural gas, but that is far from the only possible method, just the most economical using 19th century technology.
