    If I may?

    Hydrogen, green hydrogen, can be produced from water, using electricity produced from renewables, like solar amd wind.

    My own country is in the process of converting a decomissioned refinery into a hydrogen plant.

    It may not solve much in the short term but as an energy reserve, hydrogen can find use directly as a fuel or for running gas turbines to produce electricity in replacement of conventional gas.

      Green Hydrogen from Electrolysis is extremely inefficient (<30%). Renewable energy isn’t without cost or environmental impact, so we need to responsible with how we use it. Unless the grid you’re pulling from is 100% renewable and has excess power that is just being wasted, that renewable energy could be used elsewhere in a more efficient manner.
