An investment in hydrogen as a green energy source could help Dunedin reach its carbon-neutral goal, a Dunedin City Council submission says. The DCC, in its submission, said the initiative could help deliver carbon-neutral objectives in Dunedin and across the country. That made the shift to clean energy sources, particularly in the transport sector, "especially important'' for Dunedin, the DCC submission said. Powering the electrolysis process from renewable sources, such as wind turbines or hydro, would create "green'' hydrogen that helped decarbonise the city, rather than "grey'' or "brown'' hydrogen fuelled by non-renewable energy sources. "The are many opportunities around green hydrogen that need to be explored further.
