Hydrogen is the most abundant element but on earth very little exists as free hydrogen gas. It's almost all bound up in water or hyrdocarbons and it takes more energy to separate water into H2 and O2 than you get back when burning it. Simple thermodynamics, there is no "better system" that will overcome that. Hydrogen is nothing more than another form of battery, and like all batteries is not perfectly efficient.
