Unfortunately, this is not going to be a viable option for hydrogen. I don't think it ever will be. The price of aluminum is not going to come down enough. These smelters are putting out millions upon millions of tons of the stuff.

Also, one of the by-products is Aluminum Oxide which is extremely abrasive. If any of that gets into an internal combustion engine, then it's dead in a matter of hours.

I'd put money down that Hydrogen will be the fuel of the future, but not like this. It needs to be produced using renewable energy or using nuclear power.
