I have basic idea of working of hydrogen fuel cell but why just hydrogen? Isn’t there any better or maybe cheaper alternative?
(I know it’s bit complex for but I would appreciate your answers)

Keep in mind green hydrogen is not a fuel source. It’s used as an energy storage. The goal is to use energy from renewable to produce hydrogen.
So really you have to compare hydrogen to batteries and other energy storages, not energy sources.
Compared to electric batteries, hydrogen has much higher energy density and is relatively cheaper. This allows it to be used in industries where the battery wouldn’t be able to viable, and to store much more electricity.
However, converting electricity into hydrogen, and then transporting that hydrogen, is super in efficient. So it’s far from certain that it will be the future.
