Well, if you can extract the hydrogen, you got yourself a fuel cell going.
I was thinking straight up electron carrier (a la NAD(P) / FAD / a quinone molecule). A simplified version of fatty acid metabolism. We already know it's a good energy carrier, it's turning that energy into an electron potential that is (likely extremely) difficult.
