But from a practical perspective, transportation is not a great use for hydrogen. “Hydrogen is really terrible to store and to transport,” said Chad Mason, founder and CEO of Advanced Ionics. Which is why Advanced Ionics is a hydrogen company that has nothing to do with transportation.

Ask for help thinking of considerations you might be missing, or alternatives you might not have considered.
