Hydrogen - highly explosive in the presence of oxygen. It's also rather difficult to collect despite it being an abundant element.
Biodiesel - tell the farmers selling their land to homebuilders because of profitability to grow more sunflowers to make fuel out of. Not to mention the cost of having to grow the plants all the time in order to make enough fuel for our rabidly increasing needs.
Neither of these is PROFITABLE. And that's why neither of them will get any development.
Change our society from profit to long-term sustenance and that's when alternative fuels will be seriously considered.
