Which of the following statements with regard to Green Hydrogen is/are correct ? 1. It is decarbonized hydrogen obtained from natural gas reforming combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS). 2. It is produced using electrolysis of water with electricity generated by renewable energy. 3. 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 :
A
1 only
B
2 and 3 only
Correct answer
C
2 only
D
1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysing water with renewable electricity. Hydrogen made from natural gas reforming with carbon capture and storage is 'blue' hydrogen, so statement 1 is wrong. India's National Green Hydrogen Mission (2023) targets 5 MMT of green hydrogen a year by 2030 and the abatement of nearly 50 MMT of annual greenhouse gas emissions.
