Gas is here to stay

As Kiwis, we love the benefits gas brings. Summer barbies, instant heat, endless hot water, and cooking with a flame. But Kiwis also love our clean, green environment – and want to see New Zealand reach its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Thanks to our research and monitoring of international efforts, we’re planning our route towards distributing more energy efficient renewable gas in the future.
