Position Statement: Bioenergy: A ready, cheaper alternative to LNG

The release of the LNG import investigation confirms what’s already clear.  LNG is an expensive energy option.

“The Bioenergy Association welcomes the investigation,” says Executive Officer Brian Cox. “But we urge the need for a broader energy strategy that includes all technologies, and especially bioenergy. Growing New Zealand’s manufacturing and employment base depends on a stable, secure, and sovereign energy supply. Without it, industry struggles, as energy can make up a third of production costs.”
