I know platinum and palladium absorb hydrogen. And, there are metals like magnesium that for a hydride, that can be used to store hydrogen. But, I have no ide how expensive it is or how easy it is to get the hydrogen back.
I've seen articles on storing hydrogen as ammonia and on using it directly for things likes ships. I don't know what the cost is to strip the hydrogen out. If you use it directly, it probably forms NOx compounds which can pollute the air.
The worst ammonia spill (US) was in 1976, 7,500 gallons of anhydrous liquid ammonia spilled from a tanker truck. 7 people died, drive from the truck crash and six from ammonia inhalation, 200 were injured from gaseous ammonia.

I have no problem with Plug not building more hydrogen production facilities. I think they need some amount of dedicate power that they always have available, not try to get by with excess renewable energy.
And, I have no problem admitting Plug burned through a lot of money. I don't care. I care about the company going forward. The way I see it, the company gained valuable information.
Question : "What company would have ensured the hydrogen was available?"
Answer : Air Products, Air Liquide, Linde. The same companies who are supplying hydrogen to Plug and their end users today.
Okay, they have sourced the hydrogen, now they need to source storage and then dispensers. Then they need to learn how to monitor the equipment and maintain it. Doing forklift conversions piecemeal like this likely would have killed it.

I doubt it.
Sure they could have converted the forklifts to hydrogen fuel cells. But, what company would have ensured the hydrogen was available. Or, electrolyzers and hydrogen storage. And, what company would have supplied the hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
It's only a business because Plug offers a complete solution, something possible because the got into "Everything hydrogen". And, I'm not saying there wasn't another way, but there is a reason Plug is doing it at scale and not some other company.

Plug Power does have emerging demand from AI data-center operators, but it is still early-stage and not yet at the scale of $BE Bloom Energy’s deployments.
🔍 What the sources show
Plug Power is positioning its green-hydrogen fuel-cell systems as backup and on-site power for data centers, specifically tied to the AI-driven power-demand surge.
Analysts note that Plug Power is increasingly being viewed as a potential beneficiary of the AI data-center capex boom, similar to Bloom Energy, because data centers need reliable, clean, on-site power to handle massive load spikes.
Additional reporting highlights that Plug Power is actively working to become a major player in the data-center power ecosystem, driven by the same demand forces lifting Bloom Energy.

"These things are being worked on."
yea...they are all pleading to the fed gov to let the taxpayers subsidize them...all the promises of incentives, grants, loans, tax breaks etc really didnt amount to much...certainly not enough...although some companies flourished anyway, others closed up shop and still others are just floundering waiting for someone to bail them out...
the companies that continued to move forward with sound business plans ended up doing well...the ones who had half assed plans and were relying on the kindness of others, are still wallowing around trying to stay alive just a little longer...
