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:

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect: Hydrogen produced from natural gas reforming combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS) is known as Blue Hydrogen, not Green Hydrogen.

Statement 2 is correct: Green Hydrogen is produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using an electrolyzer powered by renewable energy sources (like solar or wind). This process results in zero carbon emissions.

Statement 3 is correct: The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched by the Government of India, aims to develop a green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 MMT per annum by 2030. One of its key expected outcomes is the abatement of nearly 50 MMT of annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, along with a cumulative reduction in fossil fuel imports of over ₹1 lakh crore.

Therefore, only statements 2 and 3 are correct.
