It also stores the in-tank Hydrogen in a form in which it cannot explode. This website has a good explanation of how hydrogen combustion engines work:

Once the idea is accepted (which is really the main hurtle getting past the fossil age Neanderthal mind set) then, without the need for major retooling of the internal combustion engine, distribution could happen almost over night. It would indeed change the world and put the petrol terrorist out of business once and for all.
