Which of the following statements with regard to Green Hydrogen is/are correct?
- It is decarbonized hydrogen obtained from natural gas reforming combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS).
- It is produced using electrolysis of water with electricity generated by renewable energy.
- 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:
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water using renewable electricity (2 correct). Hydrogen from natural-gas reforming with CCS is 'blue hydrogen', not green — so statement 1 is wrong. The National Green Hydrogen Mission (2023) targets 5 MMT of green hydrogen production by 2030 and abatement of nearly 50 MMT of annual GHG emissions, per MNRE (3 correct). Hence 2 and 3 only.
