Hydrogen + Co gives hydrocarbons.

We already know how to store hydrocarbons.

Issue is most hydrogen comes from natural gas right now, so using renewable excess or nuclear for hydrogen to Fischer Tropsch into hydrocarbons is just a workable idea, but natural gas -hydrogen-hydrocarbon would be a really inefficient circle.

Also, they're really, really pure hydrocarbons.
