I’ve never understood the enthusiasm for hydrogen. It’s not an energy source itself, you have to get energy from somewhere else to make it. It’s just an energy storage material, and it’s a pain in the butt, requiring complex and heavy storage systems either adsorbed or under high pressure. There’s no industrial infrastructure to make or distribute it (unlike electricity). I get that it has no point-of-use pollution, that’s nice, but neither do batteries. I don’t see much future for H2. The future is better batteries.
