The way to store hydrogen for use in vehicles is in metal hydrides:

totally safe...
No... compressed air scares the heck out of me... I much rather sit on liquid fuel tank... Empty gas tanks are far more dangerous than full ones but nothing like a compressed air tank... Have a look at welding tanks .... those are what the air tanks would have to look like... and then electric batteries start looking much better! No losses compressing the air either which would need to be factored in .... Air motors are efficient (gas turbines have amazing power to size / weight ) but I suspect electric motors are more efficient ... (longer time to recharge though)
