ONLiNE UPSC · Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is not correct: Green Hydrogen is generated through the electrolysis of water using electricity from renewable sources. The carbon footprint of hydrogen production depends on the energy source used. The cleaner the electricity source, the greener the hydrogen.

Statement 2 is correct: Green Hydrogen has a high energy density per unit weight, making it an efficient fuel for various applications.

Statement 3 is not correct: India has introduced the Green Hydrogen Standard, setting an emission limit of 2 kg CO2 equivalent per kg of hydrogen as a 12-month average.

Statement 4 is correct: India has officially defined Green Hydrogen, making it one of the first countries to do so. Green Hydrogen is an efficient energy carrier and can store excess renewable energy for future use. It also enables energy transportation across long distances.
