|Chose 60°C because it's just above the highest weather temperature ever recorded on Earth. This doesn't account for future climate change or improper storage of the tanks. In any worst case, the tanks should be designed to vent the gas (or deform?) rather than explode, hopefully. | |||

Structural steel is mostly iron & carbon, which are abundant on Earth. The main concern would be the energy needed to process all that steel. | |||
However, this is just a thought experiment, because hydrogen gas is known to react with structural steel anyway. Let's try stainless steel next: | |||

Stainless steel contains more than just iron & carbon. It also contains nickel & chromium, which are scarcer resources. {{pn|Need to do an analysis regarding mineral reserves.}} | |||
