I'm not convinced that hydrogen (green or otherwise) makes sense for powering transportation. I think it's best use case is in replacing fossil fuels in high-temperature industrial processes.

The single advantage hydrogen has over batteries is that the "refueling" is pretty much instantaneous. If charging infrastructure and technology improves, there will be no reason to bother with it anymore.

IIRC, pumping hydrogen is only fast if the pump has a substantial rest between vehicles. Get a line of FCEVs wanting filled and you're looking at filling times not much faster than charging a battery EV.
