Amazon plans to make its own hydrogen to power vehicles (www.theverge.com)

Amazon thinks hydrogen can be a more sustainable fuel for vehicles at its warehouses, but it’ll have to clean up hydrogen production first.

The drones generally don't use compressed hydrogen (at least the ones I've seen). It's too dangerous. Instead they use a pellet based storage system. You can liberate hydrogen from it, but it's rate limited. It will burn, but it can't launch like a flaming rocket.

The downside is the pellet systems aren't as simple as just refilling the tank.
