新西兰探索用于脱碳的绿色氢,面临成本和基础设施方面的挑战。 New Zealand explores green hydrogen for decarbonization, facing challenges in cost and infrastructure.

根据研究,新西兰有可能利用绿色氢到2050年实现钢生产和航运等工业的去碳化。 New Zealand could potentially use green hydrogen to decarbonize industries like steel production and shipping by 2050, according to research. 然而,要生产100万吨绿色氢,就需要将该国的可再生能源能力提高两倍,并建造10千兆瓦电解器。 However, producing 1 million tons of green hydrogen would require tripling the country's renewable power capacity and building 10 gigawatts of electrolysers. 重大挑战包括成本高、基础设施有限以及氢气渗漏的倾向,因此需要专门材料。 Significant challenges include high costs, limited infrastructure, and hydrogen's tendency to leak, necessitating specialized materials. 由于运输方面的困难,氢的潜在出口增加了进一步的复杂性。 Potential export of hydrogen adds further complexity due to transportation difficulties.
