Cracking water is currently done via electrolysis which is very energy intensive. Would be better to use a battery.
The fact that batteries compete with the very best cars after maybe 15 years on the market is very good still
This looks encouraging: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-08/w ... sa/9526706
The Crystal Brook facility will produce up to 400 megawatts of solar and wind power each day, which will power the site's hydrogen 'electrolyser' to potentially produce 20,000 kilograms of hydrogen daily.
And there has been a recent SA Uni based discovery about using an inexpensive enzyme process to convert Hydrogen to Ammonia and then break it down to Hydrogen again at the other end, which makes it more compact and transportable - I think it was Adelaide Uni.
