All natgas infra can deal with hydrogen blends and some with pure hydrogen. All new infrastructure should be made hydrogen-proof.
Another great option is synfuels like methanol which are also an universal chemistry feedstock.
Hydrogen is the least dense fuel possible. And it fucks up tanks (with pitting) so it has to be replaced often.
Yup, "hydrogen-proof infrastructure" doesn't exist. I like the idea of hydrogen, but it's just not a nice gas to work with and transport.
Yep, that's why you convert it to methane
