hydrogen makes metals brittle and there can be catastrophic failure of valves, regulators etc.
there are only 3 significant problems with hydrogen as an energy carrier to solve before it becomes ubiquitous:
1. how to make it
2. how to store it & transport it
3. how to use it
IMO there was a time in the late 80s, early 90s when there was a chance it could be useful but the battery tech development over the last 25 years has nailed the coffin shut - hydrogen research persists because people with jobs know how to research hydrogen production.
