and where will all of that hydrogen come from? and what are the net energy losses from producing it, compressing it to liquefy it, and then transporting liquid hydrogen?

Right now the vast majority of liquid hydrogen comes from Natural Gas.

Liquid hydrogen today comes from Natural Gas...and guess what the byproduct of that process is?

Steam-methane reforming reaction
CH4 + H2O (+ heat) → CO + 3H2

Water-gas shift reactionn
CO + H2O → CO2 + H2 (+ small amount of heat)
