Question 5: What is the main drawback of using hydrogen as a renewable energy carrier?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The high cost of hydrogen production and storage

High energy losses during hydrogen conversion

Limited availability of hydrogen production facilities

Hydrogen is less efficient than electricity for transportation

Question 6: How does water management in environmental design contribute to sustainability, particularly in regions with water scarcity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Water management strategies primarily focus on reducing surface water runoff without considering water conservation

Water-efficient designs reduce consumption and promote recycling and rainwater harvesting, alleviating water scarcity

Water management is limited to irrigation and does not account for potable water usage

Water management strategies are irrelevant in areas with sufficient water supply
