    Not for transportation (e.g. pipes), but it seems pretty good for localized energy storage, like for forklifts/heavy machinery at a warehouse/factory. It’s probably not a good fit for grid scale storage, but who knows, maybe we’ll find a use case to replace natural gas plants for night-time generation. I don’t think hydrogen cars will really be a thing, but maybe hydrogen long-haul trucks or trains could be (i.e. machines with predictable stops where they can refuel).
