T, Many moons ago, I looked into Metal Hydrides as an H2 store. Like yourself, I don't see H2 as a great portable fuel source. It is an intermediate fuel store. Can't store electrons easily (there are larger superconductor rings, but impractical for most applications) but can store H2 local to production. The diff between what I think you are thinking, and what I think industry is thinking, is you see make electricity, then using electrolysis to disassociate h2o. What industry is thinking, is thermal disassociation, sometimes with the aid of a catalyst. (COSA comes to mind) Now, rather than just using off peak (nuke/wind/solar) capacity for electrolysis, you have 'cogen'. Here's another more complete yet short intro I found after a quick search. Note the 50% efficiency mentioned. ch2bc.org Found this using the keywords off one of the ETR slides..
