A vision to develop a market leading, export focused green hydrogen plant which will ultimately support the development and decarbonisation of both the domestic and overseas economies and help New Zealand’s transition to a 100 per cent renewable electricity generation system. While the hydrogen production is not economic currently, various factors could align in New Zealand and around the world to make it so.

As we transition to a net-zero carbon economy by 2050, policy makers, investors and consumers are searching for tools to help them manage risks and seize opportunities.
What might our carbon emissions footprint look like? Where might electricity generation come from? Can we reach 100% renewable electricity? How do our two scenarios, Kea and Tūī, compare?
What transport technologies might help us lower our carbon footprint? What cars might we drive? And what fuels might we use? How do our two scenarios, Kea and Tui, compare? Our modelling shows petrol emissions are almost all eliminated between 2050 and 2055 in Kea, and 2055 and 2060 in Tūī. So what might we be driving instead?
What energy source might we use in our homes? What is the potential for homes to reduce carbon emissions? What could the emissions footprint of the commercial sector look like? Where might we see emissions increase? How do our two scenarios, Kea and Tūī, compare?
What might industrial demand look like? What fuels might industry use? Which technologies decarbonise more readily? And how do our two scenarios, Kea and Tūī, compare?
