Very simply it cannot! Rather hydrogen is an SOB to both store and to handle.
----
To achieve any reasonable storage density the stuff must be pressurized to 3,000 - 5,000 psi or higher. Or it must be compressed then cooled and maintained at insanely low temperatures around -425 degF. (Incidentally both compressing and cooling processes consume a big chunk of energy themselves...)
Hydrogen gas passes through fittings and gaskets that are tight to all other compressed gases. It�ll "soak" through many cast metals. (The tubing and fittings you get at Home Depot or NAPA are no good with hydrogen!)

I worked with the stuff many years ago at a GM plant (compressed hydrogen was used in a manufacturing process). Fire insurance stipulated compressed H2 bottle storage be on an elevated pad located at least 100� from the nearest building. Distribution piping had to be run outdoors above the roof � inside piping was limited to vertical drops directly over the process. Multiple automatic safety shutoff and isolation valves were required - we found these items to be a constant source of leaks.
Hydrogen was a maintenance staff and insurance underwriter's nightmare.
