I dunno, I think you are imagining a system that might exist, I don't see any words there that say what you are saying. What I see is they want to add a bunch of renewables, and use all that generation to make hydrogen, while continuing to use coal for the rest of the needs of the country. They have a massive need for clean energy in the country, so dedicating green energy to hydrogen seems silly. Financially I don't doubt it will make them money, but I don't see it being a net benefit to the environment, and I'm with you that hydrogen looks to be a good fuel for long haul trucking.
If somewhere like Iceland wanted to do this with geothermal, that would make all the sense in the world, because they have near endless supplies, it's green, and the alternative isn't coal.
