There are (at least) four methods for production of hydrogen.

(1) The cheapest method is steam reforming of methane:

CH4 + H2O --> CO + 3 H2

(2) An environmentally friendly, but not very efficient method is electrolysis of water, using a dilute sulfuric acid electrolyte:

4 H2O + 4 e- --> 2 H2 + 4 OH- ; 2 H2O --> O2 + 4 H+ + 4 e-

(3) The original Cavendish method of hydrogen production involves reaction of red-hot iron with steam.

(4) A convenient method for producing a small amount of hydrogen as economically as possible is the reaction of iron with dilute sulfuric acid.

Nuclear energy cannot be stored in the conventional sense because nuclear energy is used as soon as it is created by the nuclear reactor. Used nuclear fuel is stored at nuclear power plants in steel-lined, concrete pools or basins filled with water.

An inverted beaker filled with water is the method used in the laboratory for collecting hydrogen gas from a chemical reaction. Otherwise electrolysis of water is used and the hydrogen collected at the electrode in any suitable vessel. Hydrogen is very light so it will displace water easily.

Hydrogen is very light, thus, it displaces water easily. It is collected with the use of an inverted beaker filled with water.

It's a flameable gas and can be used as fuel in a vehicle. In it's liquid form, it's very cold and used to freeze things.
