Yes, peroxide being liquid certainly is nice, being a light gas is certainly one major obstacle in using H2. However I am surprised that the peroxide reaction would be more exothermic, as you would have to break the hydrogen from the peroxide first.
1 million litres of H2 are just 90kg though, that isn't that much for a ton of steel.
