The Executive Officer and three Interest Group Conveners will present a short overview of the bioenergy and biofuels sector, along with current Association activities across the solid, liquid and gaseous streams.
The 2024/25 period has been a pivotal one for bioenergy and biofuels. In fact, more policy and programme activity took place during these two years than in the previous 24 combined. Government policies at the time encouraged investor confidence, driving significant sector growth and laying a strong foundation for the future. This had a big impact on the business of each participant in the sector.
While many of those programmes have since been closed, new and powerful drivers are shaping the sector:
- Strengthening New Zealand’s energy security
- Creating fresh income opportunities for the agriculture and horticulture sector from growing and processing of production residues
- Supporting exporters to meet buyer requirements that food is grown and processed using sustainable energy
This briefing will highlight the opportunities for business growth across the sector.
The webinar is open to the public and will take place immediately prior to the AGM.
