depends if they produce the H2 centrally, then you have to distribute
it, or have "micro" production e.g. at petrol stations or fleet HQs

I think they're building a factory in Sheffield to knock out the
hydroliser/compressors in shipping containers. Obviously you've then got
to beef up the electrical distribution instead of hydrogen tankers.

The idea I was seeing was something like the natural gas distribution
pipe network. Thus production can be central or distributed.

I think beefing up electrical distribution is already a given with a
high proportion wind generation on the grid. You needed it to smooth
local wind variability.

I have no idea of the feasibility of any of this.
