"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.

Green hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of water using renewable energy. It can be a silver bullet to tackle climate change.

ARGUMENTS IN FAVOUR:-

→ National Green Hydrogen Mission promotes the use of green hydrogen in vehicles, industries. → Chemicals and fertilizers produced using green hydrogen will cause less pollution.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST:- → Renewable energy production requires solar chips which requires mining of minerals like lithium, cobalt.

→ Mining is itself a process that produces a lot of carbon emissions. → Hydrogen is a highly inflammable fuel, thus it can pose safety risks.

Thus, hydrogen has the potential to tackle climate change but safety concerns must also be addressed.
