Well. Assuming the cost of splitting water is lower than the energy produced from the same amount of hydrogen.

It is muuuuuuuuuuch lower. The actual energy is incomparable, like an ant vs superman level of energy.

The energy in practice it'll be extracted from H2 has to be much higher for the process to have a practical use
