Why not use electricity or natural gas for heating? Both would be more efficient than using hydrogen as an intermediate step.

- jitendrac 6y agoFor current circumstances this makes sense, Natural gas is not carbon neutral. For electricity, as the renewable energy generation capacity will increase, Storage of excess will be essentially required. when in near future we develop viable tech to generate hydrogen from electricity with low or no carbon impact at reasonable efficiency,we can save them in underground reserves(Safest way in my view) and use existing piping infrastructure of natural gas for its transportation. we need to do research and wait for appropriate tech to be available.
