flag Green hydrogen won’t cut New Zealand’s industrial emissions significantly before 2050 due to cost and infrastructure challenges, despite potential.

flag Green hydrogen is unlikely to significantly reduce New Zealand’s industrial emissions before 2050 due to high costs, efficiency losses, and infrastructure gaps, according to University of Auckland research. flag While it could supply up to 12% of industrial heat under ideal conditions, electrification remains the primary decarbonization path. flag Improved renewable energy prices, lower hydrogen production costs, and supportive policies could boost hydrogen’s role, leveraging New Zealand’s over 80% renewable electricity base. flag However, widespread adoption depends on technological advances, infrastructure investment, and government action to establish standards and remove barriers.
