With reference to the Green Hydrogen, consider the following statements: 1. Green hydrogen is produced with the help of electrolysis through electricity generated from renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind. 2. An electric current then splits the water into hydrogen and oxygen. 3. This ensures no greenhouse gas emissions as the only by-product of this process is oxygen, making it a great replacement for carbon-emitting fuels. Which of the above statement is/are correct?

The correct answer is 1, 2, and 3.
Key Points
- Green hydrogen
- It is produced with the help of electrolysis through electricity generated from renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
- An electric current then splits the water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
- This ensures no greenhouse gas emissions as the only by-product of this process is oxygen, making it a great replacement for carbon-emitting fuels. Hence, statement 3 is correct.
- Green Chemicals like ammonia and methanol can directly be utilized in existing applications like fertilizers, mobility, power, chemicals, shipping etc.
- Green Hydrogen blending up to 10% may be adopted in CGD networks to gain widespread acceptance.
- It is a clean-burning molecule, which can decarbonize a range of sectors including iron and steel, chemicals, and transportation.
- Renewable energy that cannot be stored or used by the grid can be channelled to produce hydrogen.
- Significance of Green Hydrogen:
- Green hydrogen energy is vital for India to meet its Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) Targets and ensure regional and national energy security, access and availability.
- Green Hydrogen can act as an energy storage option, which would be essential to meet intermittencies (of renewable energy) in the future.
- In terms of mobility, for long-distance mobilisations for either urban freight movement within cities and states or for passengers, Green Hydrogen can be used in railways, large ships, buses or trucks, etc.
