The future of gas

At Firstgas we recognise that New Zealand’s energy sector is evolving as the country works toward a net-zero carbon future. That’s why we’re investing in renewable gas projects to help achieve this goal. 

As we transition to a renewable energy future, natural gas will continue to play an important role, even as more renewable sources, including renewable gas, are introduced. Through extensive research and close monitoring of international progress, we are charting a path toward cleaner, more efficient energy solutions.

Hydrogen Blending Pilot LOWRES V3

The future is flowing with a pioneering hydrogen blending pilot

Firstgas undertook New Zealand’s first Hydrogen blending pilot, together with its partners Vector, Powerco, Nova Energy and GasNet. Fourteen households in Te Horo, on the Kāpiti Coast, received a gas blend containing up to 12% hydrogen by volume. Reaching this milestone demonstrated the feasibility of using New Zealand’s existing gas infrastructure to transport hydrogen and the lessons from this pilot will help inform how hydrogen could contribute to New Zealand’s future energy mix.
