Well, it sounds like that’s far less efficient than storing in an iron oxide battery or lithium. But I suppose if you want fuel, that’s better than nothing. It has to be stored though.

This still doesn’t mean a hydrogen economy is yet viable. It’s just a tiny piece of a larger puzzle. Mass transit and battery cars are still better.

It’s a shame because hydrogen is fairly dense as an energy source after you freeze it — which would take a lot more energy at the moment — and that also is a shame.

Probably more feasible to use ammonia as the fuel though as it's easier to transport than H?

Agreed. Also, ammonia has a lower boiling point so good for using spent fuel rods to produce nuclear energy.

Not that we couldn’t be harnessing zero point energy or fusion power if we did it at the nano scale. But, my first billion in seed money will be the hardest.
