Question

With reference to green hydrogen, consider the following statements:
1. It can be used directly as a fuel for internal combustion.
2. It can be blended with natural gas and used as fuel for heat or power generation.
3. It can be used in the hydrogen fuel cell to run vehicles.

How many of the above statements are correct?

AOnly one
BOnly two
CAll three
DNone
Correct Answer — C

Explanation

All three uses are genuine. Hydrogen can power internal combustion engines directly, much like petrol does. It can be blended into natural gas pipelines to lower emissions from heat and power generation. And it can run fuel cell electric vehicles, which combine hydrogen with oxygen to produce electricity, emitting only water vapour.
