The complementarity between hydrogen / electricity / heat is great but the cost of hydrogen limits its use.
Swiss scientists from ETH (Zurich) have examined the interaction between energy, heat, cooling, fuels and transport. They say that the conversion of electricity to hydrogen is particularly promising.

MIT less optimistic than BloombergNEF about the future of hydrogen
Green hydrogen production could become cost-competitive with blue hydrogen by the end of this decade in parts of the United States with good solar resources, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It says that solar electrolysis for hydrogen production could reach a price of $2.50/kg or less by 2030.
The scenario considered

Prometheus or the world of hydrogen
Public policies are essential for hydrogen to become widespread throughout the world, according to a study by BloombergNEF, SNAM and the International Gas Union.
The generalisation of hydrogen will probably require large production units such as those of electricity companies, and industrial users of hydrogen located between 50 km and 100 km away.
The investments will be considerable.
