Once
hydrogen production is converted to a non-fossil source (probably electrolytic or thermochemical splitting of water,
powered by nuclear energy) and all industrial
hydrogen (for things like the Haber Process) sourced thus, it would probably be better to synthesize hydrocarbon fuels (either methanol, or Fischer - Tropsch petrol or diesel) than attempt to use
hydrogen directly.
