And the best way to get from hydrogen to hydrocarbons might very well be processes that merge H2 (from electrolysis) with low value biofuels (usually hydrocarbons with a low amount of hydrogen I think?) into higher density synthetic fuels. That way you can use the waste parts of food plants, not so much for their (low) energy content but for their convenient access to carbon for "repackaging" H2.
