Yes, the comment I replied to is technically right in that there are some tiny countries out there. Or they would be, if the rocket in question would've been a vastly larger rocket that burned a carbon containing fuel. The New Shepard tourist joyride is tiny for a rocket and its exhaust is water vapour.

Although I doubt it, hydrogen can be produced using renewables.

It's still going to be significantly "greener" than using methane as a propellant, though.
