Read the following passage given below and answer the question. What is green hydrogen ? What is National Green Hydrogen Mission? By 2030, the Centre hopes its investments will bring in investments worth Rs. 8 trillion and create over six lakh jobs. Moreover about 50 MMT per annum of CO2 emissions are expected to be averted by 2030. As per its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement, India has committed to reduce emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030 , from 2005 levels. Several major industrial houses have announced plans to facilitate India's adoption of green hydrogen. However, they are all premised on India being able to access a reliable stream of components, upgrading the manufacturing and skill levels of its small and medium manufacturing enterprises and developing a transmission network that can supply the hydrogen produced from supply-spots to industrial centres across the country. Many advanced economies, which have also announced plans and policies to develop such an economy and given their advanced industrial infrastructure, can steal a march over India. Green hydrogen development is still in the nascent stages globally and while India can take the lead in being a major producer, provided it develops the necessary infrastructure to execute all these intermediary steps. |
Match the colours of Hydrogen in List - I with their sources in List - II :
Choose the correct answer from the options given below : |
(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I) (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III) (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I) (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV) |
(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I) |
The correct answer from the options given is Option 1 - (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I) Here are the lines from the passage that supports the answer. However, all of the hydrogen manufactured now is the so-called 'black or brown' hydrogen produced from coal. Grey hydrogen is produced from natural gas. 'Blue' hydrogen is from fossil fuel sources where the ensuing carbon emitted is captured via carbon-capture processes. Green hydrogen is when hydrogen is produced via electrolysis, the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen with electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as solar or wind. |
