The problem of hydrogen storage has apparently been solved thanks to ammonia borane - a powder which is more hydrogen-dense than liquid hydrogen itself. This stable white powder will release hydrogen gas upon heating. Currently, research is being done to store hydrogen safely so that it will be released at will to keep a fuel cell going. Hopefully their efforts will scale up to cater for various industries around the world, helping us drop the unusually high dependency on oil.
