I did a ton of work on this 23 years ago and have the patents to prove I was there…

The issue is that compressed hydrogen has terrible energy density. Liquid hydrogen is too energy intensive to liquify.

Fuel cells that run on hydrocarbons make more sense but this pushes the technology towards Solid Oxide Fuel Cells - 4 of my fuel cell stacks were used in the trunk of a hydrogen powered BMW in 2000-2001…

Pem fuel cells have come a long way but there are still water production issues.
