From what? Gas? Tongue That's the problem: hydrogen isn't an energy source, it's an energy carrier.

Hydrogen is an energy source, otherwise, you could say that both natural gas and oil are energy carriers too.
Hydrogen has one advantage, it can be generated from excess energy on the grid, like when Germany gets a sunny day and all those solar panels start to actually produce something or when the wind blows in all of Europe right in the middle of the night when there is no consumption, store it and then burn it though rainy and no wind days.

Reading an article like this one seems quite funny right now:
