An interesting round up of new H2 developments....
Not much mention of where the H2 comes from though....

"Hydrogen, which emits water but no carbon dioxide when burned, is often touted as a fuel of the future."

Re: Why an old train could point to a clean energy future
I went to a lecture on Hydrogen a few years ago and Ammonia, NH4, was being touted as the hydrogen based fuel of the future for ships and trucks/trains.
There must be a point with long distances and traffic density where overhead electric gives way to hydrogen fuels in the economy stakes. It would probably come down to the maintenance costs on overhead electric over long distances and the time period of the assessment.
