Q2 : Hydrogen Speaker Series : Energy Security & Resilience

In a time of increasing global uncertainty, energy security and resilience have never been more critical issues for Aotearoa New Zealand!  

Our Q2 Hydrogen Speaker Series in New Plymouth brings together leading industry voices to analyse how hydrogen can strengthen New Zealand’s energy independence and long-term resilience.

This timely discussion will explore what role domestic gas from Taranaki can realistically play, the evolving role of hydrogen now and into the future, the practical realities of LNG imports, and how we can reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels while strengthening critical energy infrastructure. The focus will be on how we enable a more resilient, low-emissions and affordable energy future for New Zealand.
