And how is the hydrogen generated? Through the large use of other forms of energy. Most hydrogen generation uses "hydrocarbon" energy in the moment. Some small attempts to use hydroelectric are also underway. But hydrogen generation is VERY energy demanding. So the "zero" marketing is just that.

And behind the scenes? Grants and subsidies from government.

It sounds like they only carry the hydrogen and the oxygen comes from the air. An internal combustion engine does the same thing, but more than oxygen anlways ends up getting involved. I would expect the same, here, unless the fuel-cell is, somehow, more selective.
Of course, this may all be moot, as they probably burn fossil fuels to create the hydrogen in the first place.

Airbus plans to install the hydrogen fuel cell system on its A380 test-bed for in-flight testing in 2026. Hydrogen fuel cells produce electricity. So how is this supposed to run a jet engine? Or is the author not familiar with the technology?

The article doesn’t get into the specifics of the engine. I am assuming it will be similar to the turbo prop (short distance) and turbo fan (long distance) except that the propeller or fan will be driven by an electric motor.

In June 2023, the team at Airbus successfully tested the hydrogen fuel cell system, which reached 1.2 megawatts, its full power level. Later that year, the propulsion system prototype, which includes the hydrogen fuel cell system and the electric motors, was powered on at 1.2 megawatts at the E-Aircracft House in Munich.Jet engine propulsion; the comparison of power between a car and an aircraft?
1 Megawatt equals 1341 horsepower. For an aircraft like a Boeing 777 with two GE 90-115B engines each engine produces roughly 23 Megawatt of power during cruise flight with a fully loaded aircraft. This is 30,843 horsepower.
Not going to be more than a twin engine 15 seat commuter aircraft.

This entire project is profoundly dishonest.
Hydrogen does not occur in nature; hydrogen COMPOUNDS occur in nature. Energy must be expended to crack those compounds.
As usual, the question remains: what source of energy is used to crack out the hydrogen? Solar? Wind? You’re kidding, right?
They’re not making a hydrogen powered airplane, they’re making a coal/methane/nuclear powered airplane.

The first airplane will be called the Hindenburg.
