Hydrogen is the inevitable next hope once Europe realized that no matter how much solar and wind they could practically install, there will always be times when they don't produce enough to keep the grid up and there is no way batteries could ever store enough energy to make up those deficits.
Even today, thanks to a period of weak wind (in a year of weak wind), self-inflicted damage by turning against nuclear, retiring coal and generally refusing to expand local natural gas production, large parts of Europe are facing historically high whole sale prices for electricity and natural gas. And it isn't even cold yet.
Of course, Canada being late to the party yet again can't even benefit from the high LNG prices.
