NZ’s Bioenergy Potential
Bioenergy is well established in New Zealand New Zealand is biomass rich Technologies for delivering & using fuels are well
established New technologies, plant, and industries are
emergingWaipa, 1997 (CHP), Kinleith, 1998 (CHP)
Blue Mountain Lumber, 2000 (CHP), CHH Biogrid

National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy
Economy wide energy efficiency improvement of at least 20%
25-55 PJ of additional consumer energy from RE
A carbon tax capped at 25NZ$/ton CO2 (form 2007) is part of the climate change policies

New Zealand’s Renewable Energy Target
30 PJ of consumer energy sources by 2012
This is from 133.5 PJ of renewable energy in 2000 to 163.5 PJ in 2012

New Zealand’s Renewable Energy Target cont.
It includes the renewable energy developments which otherwise would have happened (represents more than 50% of the 30 PJ

Renewable energy mechanisms
Planing and policy processes (improved Resource Management Act)
Develop a renewable energy action plan
Investigate heat demand across industrial sectors
Government purchase programme for solar water heating (or comparable technologies)

Renewable energy mechanisms cont.
Review fuel taxes on bio-ethanol petrol blends
Pilot plants and demonstrations Communicate information

The Bioenergy Opportunity:Demand
New Zealand’s energy demand is increasing (electricity, heat, transport fuels)
Transmission constraints exist which provides opportunity for distributed generation
New Zealand is set to ratify Kyoto and have obligations to reduce GHG emissions
Renewable energy is good for NZ’s clean green image

Future directions National Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Strategy Renewables Target BANZ: Industry face and presence (energy,
forestry, local government, manufacturing) Research Education & communication Economic assessments (at project and national
level) Case studies

Conclusions
Bioenergy already does and has significant potential to contribute to NZ’s energy mix
Utilise Forest Research’s Supply side knowledge and increase Demand side
Role for local energy demand analysis and integrated land-use planning
Continue linkages between climate change mitigation, bioenergy, and forestry.
