Serious Green Hydrogen production projects (as in the ones that already have pilot plants and have several billion in capital investments lined up for expansion) aren't about Hydrogen as a transportation fuel or even transporting Hydrogen.
They're a mixture of direct on site storage of hydrogen to use as overnight energy when the solar farms no longer work, and largely about ammonia for transport and methanol as a sulfur free marine fuel.
Ammonia can be shipped overseas form Australian solar farms using methanol as shipping fuel to supply ammonia as fertilizer and ammonia as a power station input to generate electricity.
Dicking about with slippery hydrogen in tens of thousands, hell, millions of small personal transportation pods is a waste of resources and a safety hazard, it's too many individual things to keep maintained to the high degree required to prevent leaks, etc.
