Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements
- Grey Hydrogen is produced via a process called steam methane reformation (SMR) of natural gas or methane.
- Blue Hydrogen is produced via natural gas or coal gasification combined with carbon capture storage (CCS) technologies to reduce carbon emissions.
Choose the correct statements:
Correct
Solution (c)
Statement Analysis
Option c Correct Types of Hydrogen based on Extraction Methods: · Grey Hydrogen: It is produced via coal or lignite gasification (black or brown), or via a process called steam methane reformation (SMR) of natural gas or methane (grey). These tend to be mostly carbon-intensive processes.
· Blue Hydrogen: It is produced via natural gas or coal gasification combined with carbon capture storage (CCS) or carbon capture use (CCU) technologies to reduce carbon emissions.
· Green Hydrogen: It is produced using electrolysis of water with electricity generated by renewable energy. The carbon intensity ultimately depends on the carbon neutrality of the source of electricity (i.e., the more renewable energy there is in the electricity fuel mix, the “greener” the hydrogen produced).
Context: Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways recently said that as per the National Hydrogen Mission of the country, Green Hydrogen/Ammonia bunkers and refuelling facilities will be established in all major ports by 2035.
