From my understanding refineries don't just produce hydrogen as some sort of by-product. They need to expend extra energy to break the bond and release the hydrogen. So it isn't abundant without energy input. That's why it's called grey hydrogen (blue if the CO2 is captured), not green. So if you want blue hydrogen, you are spending even more money and energy.
