New Zealand's Resources Minister Shane Jones is advocating for the development of natural hydrogen as a key to enhancing the nation's energy resilience. Amidst discussions on regulatory certainty and ownership concerns raised by Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, Jones emphasises the need to treat natural hydrogen development as a crucial national benefit, avoiding ethnic divisiveness. With commercial production of natural hydrogen still in its early stages globally, Jones highlights its potential for lower costs and carbon emissions compared to other fuels. The government is seeking legal advice on the application of the Crown Minerals Act to natural hydrogen, aiming to clarify regulatory frameworks and ownership, with plans to make any necessary legislative adjustments within the current parliamentary term.
