Hydrogen is made from crude oil in a stupendously inefficient process. Unless they are making it on-site, the transport of hydrogen is incredibly complicated and wasteful.
Even hydrogen made by electrolysis, from electricity (made by burning coal or gas in Germany) is very inefficient!
It is specifically a scam to double the price of energy. Or, more correctly, burn twice as many fossil fuels to produce the same amount of useful energy, thus doubling profit margins.
In what reality is hydrogen "emissions free"?

Fuck I hate greenwashing.
It also has to be stored in its liquid state which means either maintaining a cryogenic storage tank at 20K or a high pressure tank.
Both of those are energy intensive. These people can't, or most probably won't, look at the big picture.
It's all a scam.
