新西兰报告说,停止使用天然气会增加1B美元的成本,阻碍气候目标和紧张的家庭。 New Zealand report says ending gas use would raise costs by $1B, hinder climate goals, and strain households.

新西兰的一份报告警告说,关闭天然气网络以加速电气化将使家庭和企业的能源成本在25年内增加10亿美元,而实现经济转型的实际可能性很小。 A New Zealand report warns that shutting down the gas network to accelerate electrification would raise household and business energy costs by $1 billion over 25 years, with little realistic chance of making the switch economically viable. 虽然到2050年可以将排放量减少3,600万吨,但成本超过了目前的碳定价,没有充足的风能,煤炭就可以填补缺口,破坏气候目标。 While it could cut emissions by 36 million tonnes by 2050, the cost exceeds current carbon pricing, and without sufficient wind power, coal could fill the gap, undermining climate goals. 专家认为,保持天然气网络支持可靠性,使今后能够使用诸如生物甲烷和氢等清洁天然气,并在持续的生活费用压力下提供一种更负担得起的道路。 Experts argue keeping the gas network supports reliability, enables future use of clean gas like biomethane and hydrogen, and offers a more affordable path amid ongoing cost-of-living pressures.
