Hydrogen can be stored as a metal hydride. More of it can be stored in the same volume compared to liquid hydrogen.

  And how much equipment, energy, and time does it take to convert it back to a gas?

    I think it has to be heated other than that I'm not sure. But my point being its storage and stability as a solid material unlike liquefied hydrogen which may cause embrittlement of its container. A solid material, heat to release H, send it through a fuel cell. At some point maybe that method will become a type of battery. I get people like batteries and they are very efficient but there seems to be such weird hostility at the mere mention of hydrogen. It's bizarre. It has its uses especially for the ability to store a powerful energy source.

      That literally is a battery. What do you think nickel-hydrogen batteries are? PS: People are hostile because they own a BEV, or own shares in a BEV company, or have some other financial motivation. They are openly hostile to anything that could disrupt their business or lifestyle. In fact, we really should just be more direct in confronting this. Hydrogen is straight-up disrupting the conventional battery market, and the opposition is running a FUD campaign to stop it.
