Q60. 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? 

1. Only one 

2. Only two 

3. All three 

4. None 

Correct Answer: Option (c) 

• Green hydrogen can be used directly as a fuel for internal combustion. Hence, statement 1 is correct. 
• Hydrogen produced through clean pathways can be injected into natural gas pipelines, and the resulting blends can be used to generate heat and power with lower emissions than using natural gas alone. Hence, statement 2 is correct. 
• Hydrogen can be used in two kinds of vehicles: those with internal combustion engines (ICEs) and those with fuel cells. For example, Germany’s hydrogen-powered passenger train. Hence, statement 3 is correct.
