I thought hydrogen could leak through containers? On account of being so small?

instead of pouring it into your beer mug (or natural gas container) hoping it stays contained, you design a container that won't leak.

Hydrogen will leak through a latex balloon, but it is not going to leak through the steel wall of a pressure vessel. The leak risk occurs at the various fitting connections in a hydrogen system, which is overcome by using the proper fittings.
