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

Firstgas was proud to support this year’s Energy Sector Fishing Competition over Summer, an event that brings together people from across the energy sector while giving back to the local New Plymouth community. Although we didn’t have a Firstgas team on the water this year, we were pleased to come on board as a sponsor and see the positive impact the competition delivered.
Over the Christmas period, Clarus teams across the motu (country) supported a range of community initiatives aimed at helping whānau during a particularly busy and challenging time of year.
Clarus recently supported the 2025 Energy Skills Aotearoa – Science Fair (STEMFest) in Taranaki through our Community Partnership Fund. Held in New Plymouth on 12–13 November, this unique event is the only energy and science fair for primary-aged children in Taranaki and Clarus’ gold sponsorship helped make this event possible for over 230 students from 13 schools across the region.
