新西兰考虑取消由于天然气储备下降而禁止石油和天然气勘探的禁令。 New Zealand considers lifting oil and gas exploration ban due to natural gas reserve decline.

新西兰面临能源危机,原因是天然气储量迅速下降,促使政府考虑取消对新的石油和天然气勘探以保障能源安全的禁令。 New Zealand faces an energy crisis due to rapidly declining natural gas reserves, prompting the government to consider lifting a ban on new oil and gas exploration for energy security. 然而,这一计划假定,尽管存在政治和市场风险,公司将投资于新的天然气田。 However, this plan assumes that companies will invest in new gas fields, despite political and market risks. 该国对天然气的依赖,加上进口选择有限,可能导致价格上涨、甲醇出口减少和潜在失业。 The country's dependence on natural gas, coupled with limited import options, could lead to increased prices, reduced methanol exports, and potential job losses. 向绿色氢和绿色甲醇等替代能源的过渡需要大量投资和时间。 The transition to alternative energy sources like green hydrogen and green methanol would require significant investment and time.
