Anything that improves the efficiency of hydrogen production is welcome, as the current methods are prohibitively wasteful.
Even so, there is no magic; there will never be a method that needs less energy to produce hydrogen than the same amount of hydrogen can provide by getting burned (I have hopes for nuclear fusion, but not for directly powering cars).

As a carrier of energy hydrogen is troublesome. Its containers outweigh their contents many times and need to be treated as highly explosive devices, which they are after all.
