Energy Today, For Tomorrow

Recent debate in New Zealand about LNG has focused heavily on cost, global markets and uncertainty. These are valid considerations. But the more fundamental question is what our energy system will require over the next decade, and how we manage those requirements in a practical way to support both energy and economic resilience.

With global geopolitics causing high fuel prices, how can we can grow our local renewable energy sector? Renewable gas can provide low-emissions, locally-produced energy – all from organics that would otherwise go to waste. New Zealand already has one major renewable gas project at Reporoa, but the latest GasNZ report shows the full potential of this technology.

How do we achieve renewable gas that meets half of New Zealand’s natural gas demand by 2050? The latest GasNZ document is a brilliant start, says Peter Sandston, Acting GM for Future Fuels at Clarus.

One of the latest initiatives Clarus is supporting through our Community Partnership Fund is a sponsorship for Age Concern Taranaki.

On a busy summer day at Fitzroy Beach, most people are thinking about the surf, the sun, and time with family. In the background, a team of volunteer lifeguards is watching every wave, ready to act when something goes wrong.

A new strategy from GasNZ highlights how renewable gas made from organic waste could help strengthen New Zealand’s energy security while reducing emissions. Biomethane could be a core part of New Zealand’s renewable energy supply by 2035 and meet up to half of natural gas demand by 2050, according to the newly released Biomethane Strategy and Action Plan.
