Bioenergy and biofuels have become a mainstream sustainable source of energy across New Zealand.

Bioenergy has made significant gains over the last decade and to celebrate this the Bioenergy Association will present its take on the status of bioenergy in New Zealand and the progress towards biofuels being a main-stream source of energy for New Zealand.  Today, Investment in bioenergy and biofuels are being driven by:

The need for energy supply security

  • Replace essential fossil gases with biogases by 2050.
  • Supply of biomethane to fuel gas turbine generators to smooth wind and solar electricity fluctuations.
  • Refuel Huntly Power Station on biomass to provide firming capacity for dry hydro years and reduce the need for LNG.
  • Broaden drop-in energy fuel options and allow electricity to be used in higher value operations.

Assist food suppliers to meet international buyers’ sustainability requirements

  • Assist food processors have the most appropriate energy supply for heat generation, hedging against higher energy costs in the future.

Increase wellbeing to communities

  • Provide another income stream for farmers
  • Improve agricultural land by integrating trees into farming landscapes, using biofertiliser, while reducing erosion, sedimentation, and nutrient losses.
  • Assist the Government avoid the need to purchase $24billion of international emissions reduction credits.
