With reference to Green Hydrogen, consider the following statements: Green Hydrogen can be produced using coal or natural gas. Fuel cell is a device that generates electricity through Combustion. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

[A] 1 only

[B] 2 only

[C] Both 1 and 2

[D] Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: D

Notes:

Statement 1 is incorrect-Green hydrogen is produced with the help of electrolysis through electricity generated from renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind. In electrolysis, electric current splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. This process has no greenhouse gas emissions as the only by product of this process is oxygen.
Statement 2 is incorrect-Fuel cell is a device that generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction, not combustion.
A fuel cell is composed of an anode, cathode, and an electrolyte membrane. A typical fuel cell works by passing hydrogen through the anode of a fuel cell and oxygen through the cathode.
