▶️Different Types of Hydrogen

Hydrogen is categorized by its production method and environmental impact, often color-coded:

1. Green Hydrogen
- Produced via electrolysis of water using renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro).
- Zero CO₂ emissions during production.

2. Blue Hydrogen
- Made from natural gas (methane) via steam reforming, but with carbon capture and storage (CCS) to reduce emissions.
- Low-carbon, but not fully emission-free.

3. Grey Hydrogen
- Produced from natural gas (steam methane reforming) without carbon capture.
- High CO₂ emissions (most common today).

4. Black/Brown Hydrogen
- Made from coal gasification.
- Highly polluting (common in coal-rich countries).

5. Pink/Purple Hydrogen
- Produced via electrolysis powered by nuclear energy.
- Low-carbon but controversial due to nuclear waste.

6. Turquoise Hydrogen
- Made via methane pyrolysis, splitting methane into hydrogen and solid carbon (no CO₂ emissions if powered by renewables).
- Still in experimental stages.

7. White (Natural) Hydrogen
- Naturally occurring hydrogen found in geological formations.
- Potentially the cleanest if extracted without environmental harm.

This is the Time to Believe in Yourself and Give Your Final Best Push!

Every successful candidate has had a moment when they wanted to quit – but they didn’t. That made all the difference.

✅ All the effort you’ve put in so far will not go to waste.
✅ These last days can change everything – all you need is focus, consistency, and self-belief.
✅ Instead of doubting yourself, promise to give your best each day.

Set daily targets. Prioritize revision. Give tests. Learn from mistakes and improve.
Whenever you feel tired, remind yourself why you started this journey.

All the best – we truly believe in your hard work! 💪

Order of precedence.

UPSC may ask questions on this also.

As last year UPSC asked question on Army, Navy and Airforce hierarchy.
