I'm guessing distribution infrastructure would have to change though. Hydrogen is hell on a lot of common materials.

The neat thing about smelting with hydrogen, is that apparently it can happen at much lower temperatures. Sponge iron can be made at like 600C, which is more like what you'd expect to see casting aluminum.
