No, you must have been misinformed, not me.
"You have been misinformed. H2 for energy (storage, FCs) is working very well, and the economics are solid. I don't get your link between H2 and fossil fuels -- this is imagined
One H2 fuel never has been nor will it ever be economical.
Two even the US-DOE agrees, other wise why would they also be supporting and pushing a switch to formic acid made from CO2 as the solution to the H2 problems for fuel cells?
Also most H2 is made from fossil fuels and thus does nothing to solve the air pollution problems caused by using fossil fuels to make the overrated gas H2.
