Certainly with current technology we wont see tank farms of hydrogen like we see tank farms of oil and gas, or Nat Gas & Propane.

Most current hydrogen stations for fuel cell cars are using onsite osmosis to avoid hydrogen leaking thru the walls of storage tanks. IIRC there are only about 1000 miles of hydrogen pipelines in the US, nearly all along the Gulf of Mexico serving the oil industry.
