Not only are the hydrogen production facilities quite expensive, there is a huge loss in producing hydrogen from electricity and back. Also storage is expensive and has energy losses due to the compression work. And you need to transport the hydrogen over large distances. For the same amount of energy to be put into the Asian grid, you need at least 2-3x as many solar cells, if you go via hydrogen.
