New Zealand has abundant renewable energy potential, laying a solid foundation for us to vigorously promote economic electrification, "said Minister Brown." However, for certain sectors such as heavy transportation and industrial industries, full electrification is not realistic or feasible. In these areas, hydrogen energy can play a key role, not only in reducing emissions but also ensuring sustained economic growth.

The government is committed to promoting the integration of the hydrogen energy industry into New Zealand's energy structure by eliminating regulatory barriers, supporting international trade and investment. The Hydrogen Action Plan outlines specific measures being taken by the government to lower regulatory barriers, support the industry in developing more hydrogen solutions, and inject strong momentum into the future of New Zealand businesses. ”
