Biogas - fuelling the future

At Powerco, we are dedicated to transitioning to renewable gas to reduce carbon emissions and ensure energy resilience for Aotearoa New Zealand. Our focus is on renewable natural gas, specifically biomethane, which can be used just like natural gas without adding additional emissions. By cleaning biogas to produce biomethane, we can use our existing gas pipes to supply this renewable gas, allowing our customers to continue using gas for cooking, heating, and hot water without any changes to their current systems.

We have co-commissioned the Blunomy report with Clarus and Ecogas, which found that New Zealand has the potential to produce 23.4PJ of biogas annually, more than enough to meet residential demand. This transition supports environmental goals and provides economic benefits by creating value streams for waste producers and processors. We are excited about the potential of biogas to bring together the energy, agricultural, manufacturing, and waste sectors, creating tangible environmental and economic benefits.
