@Feolips Yes, H2 storage IS harder than an oil rig!!!
The "better energy density" of H2 comes at a massive cost - it has to be in liquid form, which takes a massive amount of energy.
There are also a number of material problems associated with hydrogen, because it can pass through materials.
Here's a thought:
Instead of breaking-down natural hydrocarbons to free the hydrogen (and do, what, with the carbon?), how about creating synthetic hydrocarbons from atmospheric CO2 which would, at worst, maintain current CO2 levels?
I understand why you think H2 is a good idea, but it isn't. Synthetic hydrocarbons are EASILY a better, cheaper solution.
