Green Hydrogen Taxonomy
Question
Which of the following statements with regard to Green Hydrogen is/are correct?
Select the answer using the code given below: (a) 1 only (b) 2 and 3 only (c) 2 only (d) 1, 2 and 3
Options
1 only
2 and 3 only
2 only
1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Statements 2 and 3 are correct. Green hydrogen is produced by using renewable electricity (such as solar or wind power) to split water via electrolysis, resulting in a zero-emission production process. The National Green Hydrogen Mission sets a target to mitigate approximately 50 million metric tons (MMT) of annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Statement 1 is incorrect because hydrogen produced from natural gas reforming combined with carbon capture is classified as Blue Hydrogen, not Green hydrogen.
