That might work. I'm a little suspicious, splitting water and compressing gases are two power hungry operations... Then energy density of gaseous hydrogen kind of sucks and it's dangerous(ish) to store.

There is this really great way of storing hydrogen where you attach it to a chain of carbon atoms and it becomes a liquid. Much safer, fantastic energy density. If they could make that from CO2 in the air and water and wind we'd really be on to something.

Japan and Korea are working hard on it. You're right to be suspicious. Take a look at how this engineer stores hydrogen- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3GDjVskYIs and please visit /v/Hydrogen for more info
