Agreed. It is competition with a battery, not an actual fuel. It takes the consumption of another fuel to create it, and that is a significant loss of efficiency. Today, the cheapest form of H2 is from steam reforming natural gas.
I agree with both of you but steam reform means storage and transportation. Hydrogen is one of the most difficult gases on earth to “handle”
I can’t see it working unless you use inefficient hydrolysis or some localized process “on site” at the refill station. None of this makes any sense to me.
I had a brain gear slip in my earlier post; I conflated steam reformation with the Fischer-Tropsch process (for making ammonia from natural gas and nitrogen). Sorry about that.
