Hydrogen is an extremely bad way to store electricity. The technology to transport it over any distance and use it is not yet available in any practical way. It leaks through all pipes, is explosive, burns with an extremely hot flame that is invisible so cannot be avoided. All metals used will become brittle and break over a few years which will cause leaks. Lots of gaseous pollution is generated during its production.
Just use the natural gas for energy instead of such a wasteful and impractical excuse to milk government subsidies.
Why would any sane person want to "diversify and decarbonize our energy systems "?
Use nuclear energy to generate electricity is obvious, but needs a lot of capital expenditure to get going. Most of our civilisation is based on carbon based chemistry and energy.

You are wrong on every count. Try to learn something about reality.
