In case you are not aware, hydrogen as a source of energy has become controversial. It is promoted as a clean replacement for fossil fuels, without greenhouse gases at the tailpipe.
Even so, producing and storing hydrogen is energy-consuming, questioning its potential as a green solution.
Somehow Hydrogen is attractive to developers, but we were pointing out 30 yeares ago that you need to ultra compress it in hugely strong and expensive tanks, even then it will ALWAYS leak and the process may release more CO2 than you save .
(Totally neglected is NH3, ammonia where the nitrogen N stores the hydrogen H3 at minimum pressure. Buses ran on NH3 100 years ago, and nowadays it can be produced by electrolysis on green electricity, and it’s CO2 free oif course. The downside of NH3 is it’s toxic and it can produce NO when burned, which is WORSE than CO2 for the climate, though they say this can be avoided. see; https://co2freefuelexistsnow.wordpress.com/ )
-A new study shows that hydrogen has another big problem, as it becomes itself a greenhouse gas when released into the atmosphere. Long term, it might be 11 times worse than CO2 for the climate.

Light-duty vehicles have passed the phase when hydrogen can be a viable solution. Battery-electric vehicles have already proved better and gained traction with consumers.
