In summary, is hydrogen a magic pill or a magic bean? “I know it’s hard, nobody wants to do it, but it’s the thing that needs to be done.”The job of a hydrogen fuel cell is to take chemical energy – hydrogen and oxygen – and convert it to electric energy. (Another way to store hydrogen energy is by producing ammonia, which has three hydrogen molecules and one nitrogen molecule.) Last year, NZX-listed Refining NZ investigated the potential of producing green hydrogen at Marsden Point. Hiringa’s predicting by 2035 – five years after that crucial 2030 date – it’ll have 20,000 hydrogen trucks on the roads.
