Storing Hydrogen can be a bit of a problem. It can migrate through steel, which has been a problem with hydrogen cars. If there is a lot they may have to convert it into ammonia to store it.

You store hydrogen in steel, you store it in carbon fiber composite tanks lined with double layers of polymers and aluminum..
“manufacturers often achieving permeation rates in the 10^-3 mbar l/s range, though typical allowable rates are in the 10^-2 mbar l/s range. “
At those kinds of leak rates a 700 bar composite H2 tank lined with aluminum would take 70+ years to reach zero bar. We come to the 21st century. Humans solved hydrogen storage decades ago its boomer FUD and superstition that persists. Hydrogen is used in millions of tonnes per year by the petrochemical and fertilizer industries. Texas has 200+ miles of high pressure hydrogen pipelines all over the Gulf of America petrochemical.complex as far as Louisiana. It’s stored in liquid form look for the spherical tanks at refineries. Or in compressed form look for ISO container sized 9-16 tank bundles. Hydrogen storage is an issue from the past century as is metal fatigue modern allows of aluminum, magnesium or speciality high nickel.chrome steels all take hydrogen what do you think those giant hydrocrack reactors are made of its not plastic its steel lined with ceramics of the temps get high enough.
The 21st century is a grand place to be embrace it.
