We're rapidly approaching a time where creating electrolysed hydrogen is cheap compared to mining fossil fuels (let alone cracking it and losing a bunch of heat).
Storage may still be a deal breaker for some applications, but if a handful of the many emerging electrolyser technologies commercialise you'll be looking at green hydrogen from the cheap 10am-2pm solar energy for <$1/kg pretty soon. 50c is an optimistic but somewhat realistic estimate by the 2030s
Being able to mix and match that with fossil fuels on existing infrastructure will cut emissions from those activities by >80% during the warmer months (or year round in the tropics)
