Biogas could plug NZ's growing energy gap
Biogas could replace up to a third of forecast annual domestic gas production and needs to be recognised as a strategic pillar of New Zealand's energy security, the Bioenergy Association says.
The association's executive officer, Brian Cox, says the 23 per cent year-on-year fall of proven and probable gas reserves to 731 petajoules - the lowest level recorded in more than 20 years - released by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment last week shows that "strategic action is required now".
