Question

With reference to green hydrogen, consider the following statements:It can be used directly as a fuel for internal combustion.It can be blended with natural gas and used as fuel for heat or power generation.It can be used in the hydrogen fuel cell to run vehicles.How many of the above statements are correct?

Accepted Answer

Green hydrogen is any hydrogen that is produced from renewable energy. This includes electrolysis with electricity coming from green sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.Various uses of Green Hydrogen:Industry: Oil refining, ammonia production, methanol production, steel production, etc.Buildings: Hydrogen could be blended into existing natural gas networks, with the highest potential in multifamily and commercial buildings, particularly in dense cities.Power generation: Hydrogen is one of the leading options for storing renewable energy, and hydrogen and ammonia can be used in gas turbines to increase power system flexibility.Green Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV): Powered by Hydrogen, it is one of the best Zero Emission solutions. It is completely environment friendly with no tailpipe emissions other than water.Hence, statement 3 is correct. It can also serve as fuel for internal combustion engines. Hydrogen has a wide flammability range in comparison with all other fuels. As a result, hydrogen can be combusted in an internal combustion engine over a wide range of fuel-air mixtures. A significant advantage of this is that hydrogen can run on a lean mixture. Hence, statement 1 is correct.Recently, NTPC Ltd commissioned India's first green hydrogen blending project. The green hydrogen blending has been started in the piped natural gas (PNG) network of NTPC Kawas township, Surat. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
