Bioenergy Association welcomes Government decision to transition schools from diesel boilers, using homegrown energy that helps NZ’s fuel resilience
Brian Cox, Executive Officer of the Bioenergy Association, says that “The Government’s decision to phase out diesel boilers in schools is a major step forward for New Zealand’s energy resilience and regional economies. New Zealanders are being hit hard by soaring petrol and diesel prices, driven by global instability and the country’s overwhelming reliance on imported fuels”.
“For the bioenergy sector, it confirms what industry and communities have known for years: locally sourced wood energy is one of the most cost‑effective, reliable and future‑proof fuel sources available”.
