It’s needed for quite a few other reasons as well though this is the primary reason that it is needed is for the transition to Hydrogen based fuels. With this technology in place it will make the transition go much smoother and there will need to be a lot of math involved with the pressure changes caused by this so we can incorporate them in with the current reactors and oil drilling platforms. This is my outlook and can be taken as such.

And considering that hydrogen is an energy storage and transport technology, it is likely to be trumped by such things as the new nanowire LiIon batteries which will have 10X the capacity of current versions. Smart use of current versions already gives the TeslaMotors Roadster pure EV, e.g., a range of 220 mi. at highway and urban speeds. Transport and storage of hydrogen is such a huge infrastructure cost that I no longer believe it will ever be justified. The cost per delivered kwh is massively out of synch. Fuel cells will probably even be phased out of spacecraft design.
