New technology use and cutting emissions: June 10, 2021

The Climate Change Commission's advice stressed the importance of technology in reducing New Zealand's emissions.

The roadmap has suggested factories to substitue coal and gas for electricity and hydrogen, while products and packaging will be redesigned to minimize emissions, and power generation will move to solar, wind, or geothermal energy.

Producer Louis spoke with Victoria University's Justin Hodgkiss about the report and the role that technology could play in reducing emissions.
