Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern at the Murihiku Marae in Invercargill with, from left, Peggy Peek, and Winsome Skerrett as they listen to Ngai Tahu kaumatua Sir Tipene O'Regan speak about transitioning Tiwai Point into green hydrogen production. Ngāi Tahu wants the Tiwai Point to be developed into a green hydrogen plant with kaumatua Sir Tipene O'Regan describing it as a ‘’no-brainer’’. He pushed the case for a green hydrogen plant to utilise the power generated at Manapouri. He said the primary reason for wanting to convert Tiwai into green hydrogen was to maintain substantial overseas exports through the energy produced. He believed a move towards sustainable and renewable green hydrogen was a “no-brainer”.
