Wealth and Wellbeing via Bioenergy

 

Welcome to the Bioenergy Association of New Zealand web site - The Bioenergy Association of New Zealand (BANZ) has been established to promote and coordinate the expansion of the New Zealand bioenergy sector in all its forms and applications. The Association provides a central focus point for liaison with Government agencies, the dissemination of information amongst the sector and long-term positioning of bioenergy into New Zealand's energy system.

Members include anyone with a commercial interest in bioenergy - sawmillers, organic matter resource owners, wood processors, energy suppliers, energy researchers, consultants, manufacturers, contractors, service providers, educators, facility owners, regulators and investors.

"Economic growth and employment built on New Zealand's capability and expertise in growing and processing wood-crops and converting organic by-products to energy, leading to new business opportunities which by 2040 supply more than 25% of the country's energy needs, including 30% of the country's transport fuels" NZ Bioenergy Strategy. New Zealand has the opportunity to achieve this!!

The NZ Bioenergy Strategy was released on 8 September 2010. Read more about it here
