Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows:
The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched by the Government of India in 2023, aims to position the country as a global hub for the production, usage, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives. Under the mission's flagship Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) programme, direct financial incentives are targeted at two main components: the domestic manufacturing of electrolysers and the production of green hydrogen. By 2030, the mission targets establishing an annual green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT), supported by approximately 125 GW of dedicated renewable energy capacity. The total cumulative investment expected under the mission exceeds ₹8 lakh crore, creating over 6 lakh clean energy jobs. Crucially, while green hydrogen is generated via water electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, grey hydrogen—which currently dominates industrial applications—is derived from natural gas without carbon capture, releasing substantial carbon emissions.
According to the passage, which of the following is an explicit quantitative target set by the National Green Hydrogen Mission to be achieved by 2030?
- Achieving an annual green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 Million Metric Tonnes alongside 125 GW of associated renewable energy capacity.Cevap
- BAchieving an annual export capacity of 8 Million Metric Tonnes of green hydrogen to global markets.
- CComplete phase-out of all grey hydrogen industrial usage and mandatory conversion to green hydrogen.
- DMandatory installation of carbon capture and storage technology in all existing natural gas production units.
