Consider the following heavy industries: 1. Fertilizer plants 2. Oil refineries 3. Steel plants Green hydrogen is expected to play a significant role in decarbonizing how many of the above industries?
Correct Answer: Option C
Green hydrogen is produced through electrolysis of water using electricity from renewable sources.
Currently, hydrogen is primarily used in industries like oil refining, ammonia production (for fertilizers), methanol production, and steel production.
India is focusing on green hydrogen as a potential solution to decarbonize sectors that are difficult to abate, including refineries, ammonia/fertilizer production, methanol production, iron and steel production, and heavy-duty trucking.
Therefore, green hydrogen is expected to play a significant role in decarbonizing all three industries listed.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
