How would hydrogen help ?

You ARE aware of the problems with H2 storage right ? Like the porosity of
most (all ?) materials to the tiny H2 molecule giving rise to H2 losses
and potential accumulation of explosive vapour mixes, not to mention
hydrogen embrittlement of steel. Oh and then there's the pressure of the
storage tank to consider or the 'boil-off' losses if you go for liquid H2.
Oh AND the energy losses associated with either highly compressed or
cryogenic storage of H2.

It's 'lose, lose, lose' all the way !
