Hyzon said the fuel used in the Recology pilot was derived from natural gas. The source of hydrogen for use in fuels is a sticking point for environmentalists, as many argue any “alternative” fuels brought to market today should be displacing, rather than reinforcing, fossil fuel infrastructure. A spokesperson for Hyzon said the company is committed to supporting a “renewable hydrogen ecosystem.”

“Hyzon uses all efforts to source clean hydrogen and, if unavailable, works with customers on a clear plan to transition to it as clean hydrogen production increases,” Ismail Cidic, the spokesperson, said in an email.

Coniglio said Recology could begin producing hydrogen of its own to power fuel cell vehicles through landfill gas or organics processed via digestion.


There's a little more on this subject in the article. I'm surprised no mention of electrolysis. So I guess electrolysis is significantly more expensive than the above options.
