It's got a higher energy density than lithium ion batteries, and as it can technically be produced without emitting hydrogen, it's a good fuel for planes etc that can't really carry really have batteries . And in a future with abundant fusion energy, electrolysis could be feasible, allowing for green air travel that doesn't have to stop frequently to recharge/swap out batteries

I wouldn't say airplanes are really a niche application
