Question Not explicitly markedCritically analyze the statement in light of India's National Green Hydrogen missionGS3GS1
"Green hydrogen can be the silver bullet in our quest to tackle climate change and pollution". Critically analyze the statement in light of India's National Green Hydrogen mission. (Answer in 150 words)
Introduction
Green hydrogen is hydrogen which is produced from renewable energy. India's Rs 19,700 Cr National Green Hydrogen Mission targets producing 5 mmt green hydrogen by 2030.

Main Body
Green Hydrogen to Tackle Climate Change & Pollution:
1Clean fuel:- Emission of fuel cell car is pure water which can be drunk.
2Decarbonize long haul transportation:- like trucking, shipping due to low refuel time
3Decarbonizing polluting industries like Steel, Fertilizers which use grey hydrogen
4Energy density is 2.6x of gasoline => lesser fuel needed for some work.
5Can act as renewable storage:- Expected to store ~125 GW of renewable.
India's Green Hydrogen Mission:
1Strategic Intervention on Green Hydrogen & Transition (SIGHT) aims to:
> Develop pilot projects & use cases.
> Create mandates in industry, biosphation.
2Strategic Hydrogen Innovation Partnership (SHIP):- promotes R&D collaboration
What More Is Needed:
1Developing skillsets, labour-rise by introducing courses in IITs.
2Developing distribution infra via PM GATI SHARTI
