Part of the discussion in the UK at the moment is around the feasibility of reusing existing natural gas infrastructure (good luck with that) and building explicitly green hydrogen plants as opposed to generating from hydrocarbons.
The problem is the scale you'd need to make a dent. It's being proposed as a serious solution to road and rail transport hydrocarbon use, and the power requirements are bigger than anyone I've seen addressing. The last-mile distribution problem is also not inconsiderable, but it pales in comparison to having to copy and paste a chunk of our existing renewable energy fleet.
