Scientific research has proven that while we sleep, our brain continues to subconsciously find the
solutions to the problems that we have not been able to work out while awake Therefore, it is no surprise
that some major scientific discoveries have been made in dreams
Back in the 19th century, the famous chemist Dmitri Mendeleev was spending most of his time and effort to find a logical way to organize the chemical elements but had no success One day in 1986, he tried to write each element’s name on a set of cards and moved them around for hours to find a pattern
until he fell asleep at his desk Then, after he had woken up, he realised that he found it He later wrote:
“In a dream I saw a table where all the elements fell into place as required Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper.” Today, this table is known as the periodic table
In a similar manner, while Alfred Russel Wallace was traveling around the world to understand the differences that gradually appeared between members of the same species after they were separated by geographical barriers for generations, he had a severe tropical fever which resulted in an extreme dream filled with hallucinations When the fever had gone days later, he found that the theory of evolution by natural selection had come to him
Meanwhile, according to the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, who came up with thousands of mathematical ideas that still influence modern mathematics, the Hindu goddess Namagiri would sometimes appear in his dreams, showing him mathematical proofs that he would put down when he awoke In one of his dreams, he described seeing elliptic integrals being written on a board “They stuck to my mind As soon as I woke up, I committed them to writing.”

Industry has been promoting hydrogen as a reliable, next-generation fuel to power cars, heat homes and generate electricity But a new study on the climate effects of this chemical substance has cast doubt on its role in tackling the greenhouse gas emissions that are the driver of global warming and climate change
The main problem? Most hydrogen used today is “blue”, which means it is extracted from natural
gas in a process that requires a lot of energy and emits vast amounts of carbon dioxide Securing natural gas
from underground wells also releases methane, another major contributor to the greenhouse effect And while the natural gas industry has proposed capturing that carbon dioxide – creating what it calls emissions-free blue hydrogen – even this fuel still emits more across its entire supply chain than simply burning natural gas
“To call it a zero-emissions fuel is totally wrong,” said Robert W Howarth, the lead author of the study To arrive at their conclusion, Dr Howarth and his partners calculated the amount of greenhouse gases emitted during the production of blue hydrogen, including the amount of carbon dioxide and methane that leaks from wells and from other equipment while natural gas is pumped up from the ground The researchers also took into account the natural gas required to power the carbon capture technology In all, they found that the greenhouse gas footprint of blue hydrogen was more than 20 percent greater than burning natural gas or coal for heat
These findings can change what we think about hydrogen In recent years, the natural gas industry
has been touting hydrogen as a new and promising fuel source, announcing in campaigns aimed at the
public that it can be one of the best climate solutions However, while many scientists agree that hydrogen could play a significant role in energy storage or powering certain types of transportation such as aircraft or long-haul trucks, there is an emerging agreement that a wider hydrogen economy that relies on natural gas is damaging to the climate
Jack Brouwer, director of the National Fuel Cell Research Centre at the University of California, said that we would ultimately need to produce what the industry calls green hydrogen, which is the result of using
Trang 5renewable energy to power a process called electrolysing – in other words, splitting a water molecule into
hydrogen and oxygen This, he said, would eliminate greenhouse emissions “First we use blue, then we make
it all green,” explained Brouwer

A is directly extracted from underground wells along with natural gas

Question 40: Which of the following is NOT TRUE, according to the passage?
A Dr Howarth wanted to know how much greenhouse gas is released when making blue hydrogen
B To fully operate, the carbon capture technology still needs natural gas as a source of energy C Many scientists currently share the viewpoint that a hydrogen economy could only be damaging D Jack Brouwer believes that there should eventually be a switch from blue to green hydrogen Question 41: Which of the following can most likely be inferred from the passage?
A The greenhouse gas emissions of blue hydrogen mostly comes from equipment
B The public will start to consider natural gas to be the most effective fuel source C An economy that depends on blue hydrogen will only worsen the climate crisis D Electrolysing water to produce hydrogen never results in greenhouse emissions Question 42: The word “This” in paragraph 5 refers to
