While hydrogen is renewable, you know where they get it from?
Almost all of the commercially available H comes from Natural Gas steam shift reactors. Definately has a carbon footprint, The rest comes from splitting water, which mostly get's it's electricity from the grid.
There is no free hydrogen.
