Researchers discover safe, easy, and affordable way to store and retrieve hydrogen

11. More than a loss of energy at each stage, its a loss over all

You lose some around around 20% over all meaning to get 100 unit of energy from hydrogen you use 120 unit of energy to get the hydrogen.

If your using nat gas feed stock to get the hydrogen you might as well burn the nat gas. You get like 3 times the energy and the same co2 output.

If your breaking down water you use 5 times the energy for the amount of hydrogen you get. The only green way to get hydrogen is solar power, and you much better off using the solar to just make electricity for use, as you get twice the amount of energy.

Hydrogen is not dead as an energy storage means, but there is very little legit reasons for it. One of the few is being able to use generated electrical power that is not being used. Aka all the power plants running in stand by for when wind and solar does not met the demand.
