I hope you don't want to play the "hydrogen fuel is the way to go, look at japan" card. There are very good reasons for japan to invest in hydrogen that are not applicable to the rest of the world.

Yes, their primary reason is cobalt is a scare resource and is required for Lithium ion batteries. This is applicable to the rest of the world.

No, the primary reason is limited access to the energy market and limited resources on their island and that they're an island. And there is China. Hydrogen is a wonderful alternative if you don't have alternatives. But its awful if you have plenty, like the rest of the world.

Cobalt is required today. There's a major push for cobalt-free batteries.
