Right now China makes most of its hydrogen by the steam reformation of coal and switching to the steam reformation of gas will make it slightly less filthy.

As there is a huge marketing scam to rebrand fossil fuels as "green" hydrogen by fossil fuel salespeople, by pretending that hydrogen is made by in significant amounts by expensive thermodyamically odious electrolysis using so called "renewable energy," and as this marketing has regrettably had some success at a loss to humanity, we cannot object to this filthy hydrogen scam becoming slightly less pernicious.
