Well usually hydrogen gas is produced by electrolyzing water. If you put a current (electricity) in water, then it will split the h2o into hydrogen gas, and oxygen gas. Ethanol is made from corn oil. Essentially, the corn ferments and makes it alcohol, just like how alcoholic beverages like beer are produced.
