There’s been an exciting development for Aotearoa New Zealand’s energy future and for our growing renewable gas industry.

Renewable gas keeps gaining momentum. Let’s take a look at some of the recent developments from around the world.

Australia has tweaked its laws to recognise the important role of renewable gas in a low-emissions future. The country’s framework for reporting on energy has been updated to provide guidance on biomethane and green hydrogen.

Clarus is one of New Zealand’s largest energy groups, powering nearly half a million homes and businesses nationwide. The companies within the Clarus group play a crucial role across the energy spectrum, covering transmission, distribution, supply, and storage, to keep energy flowing to communities across Aotearoa.

It’s a confusing time for energy consumers, especially those using gas. There are some opinions out there that New Zealand needs to go 100% electric and that for various reasons our gas supplies are dwindling. However, gas remains critical to supporting our country’s variable renewable electricity supply.

It’s a confusing time for energy consumers, especially those using gas. We are told on the one hand that our country needs to go 100% electric and that our gas supplies are dwindling. Yet gas remains critical to supporting our country’s variable renewable electricity generation sources – a point that was made crystal clear with the threat of power shortages on the coldest day of the year so far.
