What does implementing standards-based change mean for New Zealand?

‘In real terms implementing standards-based change means job opportunities, improved safety, economic growth, and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Implementing these standards and growing our use of and production of hydrogen gives a particular opportunity for New Zealand through our extensive renewable energy potential.‘

How is New Zealand preparing for a major energy transition?

New Zealand is preparing for the largest energy transition this country has seen in over a hundred years. Hydrogen is set to play a key role in this country’s energy mix and decarbonisation, as we move away from our reliance on fossil fuel. Hydrogen is naturally occurring, and energy-efficient and emits only water when it is burned.

What is New Zealand's hydrogen roadmap?

New Zealand Hydrogen Council Developing a hydrogen roadmap was an action in the first Emissions Reduction Plan, released in 2022. The hydrogen roadmap builds on the green paper A Vision for Hydrogen released in 2019. Work is underway on next steps.
