Only problem is the most efficient way to get hydrogen is steam reformation of natural gas.
Do you know how much electrical energy it takes to get hydrogen?
The idea of hydrogen sounds clean but it's unbelievably wasteful. Wastefulness is the opposite of anything you could call clean.
Don't worry about how much energy it takes to compress hydrogen, it's nothing compared to what it takes to make it.
You could save a ton of time and energy and just use natural gas or batteries.
There are plenty of reasons why everyone has moved away from hydrogen as motor and rocket fuel.
