It take some energy to get that hydrogen out of gas or whatever. Back in the early 80's I worked for a company that made vacuum tubes. Not just the small stuff some of know from radios and TVs but really big custom made stuff. You haven’t seen a vacuum tube until you've seen one with water jackets for cooling. Anyway for heat treating the metal parts inside including off gassing and forming perfectly pure glass and ceramics hydrogen was a gas often used. We made our own by cracking ammonia. Heat, a catalyst and some processing gave us hydrogen and nitrogen which we used as blanket gas for many processes.
