The Australian and Japanese are keen on Hydrogen and created a join experiment to generate Hydrogen from Australian Coal and then ship it to Japan for use in cars and industry. Wind often generates electricity when it is not needed (and doesn’t generate it when it is needed). As for storage, the story is little better.
