Mitsubishi recently announced a joint demonstration for a new-generation data center, a plant designed to use a stationary fuel cell (FC) power station as its main energy...
we just haven’t figured out how to store it and transport it without cryogenics and/or insanely high pressures.
And we won’t.
To compress a gas to that level, it either has to be under a lot of pressure, or chilled to the point it becomes a liquid. There’s no getting around physics.
I mean… unless we invented something truly insane like TARDIS technology, but I imagine if we had the capability of doing that, we’d have moved past hydrogen for energy storage anyway.
All we can do is try to find energy efficient ways of chilling/insulating it, and ways of safely and cheaply pressurising it.

Never say never. Lol
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, innovation can wildly subvert expectations.
Well yeah but I make exceptions when it comes to the laws of physics
It’s not like we’ve made any advancements in the speed or light or the Earth’s gravitational constant, either.
