Yup.
It's just quite common for these hydrogen production facilities are cracking hydrocarbons.
Or if they are electrolysing, it's with power from a grid backed by hydrocarbon.
So "where does the hydrogen come from?" is a common question.
While it sounds like this does come from the grid, it does sound like a high-renewable grid.
Altho if the hydroelectric is capable of pump-storage, I imagine the operators would rather fill reservoirs than convert the excess energy into hydrogen.
But still, hydrogen as a fuel is interesting and promising. I hope all the difficulties are worked out! And the first step to that is adoption & demand, which requires hydrogen.
