Most major shipping lines are looking at Hydrogen as the power source of the future. The first bulk gas hydrogen transport ship has been launched in Japan. There is a huge push towards this technology. Lots of big companies like Hyundai, Kawasaki and others are investing big amounts of money in developing technology. There are companies looking at developing schemes to produce liquid hydrogen from Water using renewable electricity. These schema are currently under development.
The trucks Hyundai have supplied to Switzerland already offer a better proposition than electric trucks. Hydrogen has a part to play in the future, it will for rail travel as well. The UK has shown consistently it cannot deliver electrification at a reasonable cost, if it can't do that in the well populated south, it will never make a business case in the less populated and more distant North.
Remember all the anti wind power people? It would never work we would have rolling power cuts etc. The Uk reliably produces about 20% of all our electricity all day every day. Works just fine. Hydrogen will go through the same process, it will be improved and refined and it will work.
We cant right off new technology on the basis of the Hindenburg surely.
