We can react the hydrogen with CO2 in the atmosphere to produce hydrocarbons and water. The water goes back into the electrolysis system, and the hydrocarbons can be put back underground where they belong. As a bonus it gets rid of some extra CO2!
Comment on You definitely won't regret doubling the mass of our atmosphere!

In any case, what would you say is the best property of having more hydrogen gas in the atmosphere? Make it quick, I need to sell a few pentawatthours to world leaders.

Capture it and use it for nuclear fusion

Human fusion technology currently only works with heavy hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium in neutronic fusion). Fusion of normal hydrogen requires pressures and temperatures we’re unable to control at the moment.
Aneutronic fusion is currently explored in fusing hydrogen and bor, this results in clean helium-4 and no neutron radiation, meaning it leaves no radioactive waste. But it needs temperatures FAR exceeding the core of the sun and it’s self-cooling via Bremsstrahlung, so it’s nowhere near a working technology.

Okay mr guy with your science and facts!

It floats up and gets striped first by solar winds, like a shield protecting the ozone layer.
