For your business

We are actively researching, innovating, and investing in future fuels, this includes a future with renewable gas. Over time, we plan to help New Zealand transition to a net zero carbon future, this involves decarbonising our gas pipeline by blending renewable gases like biomethane and hydrogen.

Are you considering the best option for heating water in your home? It’s an important question, because hot water heating is responsible for around 30% of the energy use in a typical Kiwi home.

When it comes to professional kitchens, gas ranges are the number one cooking method of choice – by a wide margin.

There’s huge potential for biogas in New Zealand – from energy to waste to agriculture, it can make a big contribution to our emissions-reduction efforts.

Gas pipeline’s provide us with a safe and efficient way to flow natural gas, but they do need to be properly maintained, inspected regularly and kept clean. There can be some erosion of the pipes, and deposits can build up inside them.

Firstgas is getting closer to commencing New Zealand’s first Hydrogen blending pilot, and planning to blend a small amount of hydrogen, a type of renewable gas, with natural gas into the existing natural gas pipeline in Te Horo.

Firstgas is working on an important project to upgrade its SCADA system, which is the ‘nerve centre’ of the gas transmission network. The new system will enhance network reliability, operational resilience and adapt to the evolving needs of the business.
