Regional Hydrogen Transition

Last updated: 16 May 2024

The Regional Hydrogen Transition is aimed at providing consumer subsidy for early-stage hydrogen adopters in order to support hydrogen producers and industry at large. Specific sectors that will be eligible for consumption subsidies and rebate are:

  • capability and supply chain building
  • regional and national energy transition
  • hard-to-decarbonize sectors
  • uses that can deliver social and economic benefits to "just transition" regions


While the final program design is still underway, the New Zealand government has allocated NZD 100 million for the initiative, with a NZD 32.6 million allocated for the first four years.
