Hydrogen Storage in a World of Wind & Solar | Energy Central
Converting electricity to hydrogen and back has a poor round-trip energy efficiency, 35-40% at best; and easily less if its round-trip journey involves more steps. So we are wasting much more of that wind and solar energy we started with. How much economic loss this represents depends on the price of the energy when put into storage.
