A thorough explanation of the inefficiencies from production to distribution to conversion to when the rubber actually hits the road. There's a lot to consider.
Why spend so much energy isolating hydrogen, only to turn it into electricity, when there is already a much safer and more efficient technology for storing electricity in batteries.
"fuel cell expert Ulf Bossel explains that a hydrogen economy is a wasteful economy. The large amount of energy required to isolate hydrogen from natural compounds (water, natural gas, biomass), package the light gas by compression or liquefaction, transfer the energy carrier to the user, plus the energy lost when it is converted to useful electricity with fuel cells, leaves around 25% for practical use — an unacceptable value to run an economy in a sustainable future."
