if you had a household unit that produced hydrogen for energy storage (from eg. solar from your roof) in principle you could also concentrate oxygen, maybe for medical use, or maybe even just to oxygenate a room. would that be desirable enough to come in handy next resp pandemic?

Would it be energy efficient or would you be paying to provide the service?

Also, hydrogen is super volatile, which is half of the expense.

the idea would be this is a value add on top of a hydrogen long term energy storage for backup or for rather large cyclic demand / supply mismatch like solar roof microgrids or whatever

The question I pose is, "after factoring costs, even using solar energy, is harvesting hydrogen lucrative and safe?"

depends on the level of solar penetration; should be vastly more if we reach 1/2 by 2030

Sure. But then the cost of scaling- plus locating buyers; plus construction of the tanks.... plus liability insurance. If you are wondering. Check out Bill G's Heliogen:https://investmentu.com/heliogen-stock/

sure, these are all very reasonable, but things don’t become a cost reduced mass market thing all at once, you can still launch it at scales where the safety management is reasonable and the customness is still worth it at scale. much of the tech of hydrogen stack scales
