Q.2.Consider the following statements regarding green hydrogen technology :
1. The production of green hydrogen involves electrolysis powered by fossil fuels, making it less environmentally sustainable than blue hydrogen.
2. One of the major challenges in storing hydrogen in liquid form is the requirement to maintain ultra-low temperatures close to -253°C.
3. Green hydrogen can be stored in certain metal compounds that release hydrogen gas upon being heated.
