Q. Which of the following statements with regard to Green Hydrogen is/are correct?
I. It is decarbonized hydrogen obtained from natural gas reforming combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS).
II. It is produced using electrolysis of water with electricity generated by renewable energy.
III. National Green Hydrogen Mission of India aims for abatement of nearly 50 MMT of annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Select the answer using the code given below:
1. (a) 1 only
2. (b) 2 and 3 only
3. (c) 2 only
4. (d) 1, 2 and 3

Answer : B

Explanation:

Statement 1 is not correct: It is Blue Hydrogen not Green Hydrogen which is produced via natural gas or coal gasification combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Green hydrogen has a completely different production process.
Statement 2 is correct: Green hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity such as solar or wind power. It is the cleanest form of hydrogen with near-zero carbon emissions.
Statement 3 is correct: The National Green Hydrogen Mission aims for the abatement of nearly 50 MMT of annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, along with green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 MMT per annum.
