    Wood is renewable and literally grows without effort. Pretty darn good.

    Gas and oil have much, much better energy density (by volume) which is a big deal for transportation uses. Pretty darn good.

    Hydrogen is bested by other fuels in every category. It likes to leak directly through container walls, you can’t transport it economically, it has low energy density (by volume) even when you put it in a pressure vessel which is basically required to have any energy storage wroth speaking about, and on top of all that it is expensive to produce. Hydrogen sucks as a fuel. It’s why it isn’t used hardly anywhere despite the technology to use it existing for decades.
