Again, read
my other post
The idea is to circumvent being dependant on others for the hydrogen supply and rather make it yourself. Then, there's no possibility that the hydrogen was produced by steam reformation of natural gas, or made using electrolysis but from non-renewable energy sources.
It will be costly to do it yourself, but for small enterprises with many vehicles, it may be financially doable.

That too is in the post mentioned. I would be using cheap electrolysers for this. I think they're reasonably efficient.
