Put your waste to work
If you have organic waste, we want to know about it. We’re collaborating across the energy, agricultural and waste sectors to harness the benefits of biogas and biomethane.
Biomethane is a renewable alternative to natural gas, suitable for use in existing infrastructure and customer appliances.
Exploring the potential to produce biomethane is part of our commitment to offering low-carbon gas alternatives as part of Aotearoa New Zealand’s journey to be net-zero by 2050.
It’s a great opportunity for sectors that produce or manage organic waste to put it to use energising Aotearoa.
Turning waste into energy
Organic waste emits biogas as it decomposes, and this can be processed into biomethane to use in homes and businesses.Biomethane is a renewable alternative to natural gas, suitable for use in existing infrastructure and customer appliances.

Unlock your biogas potential
There are a range of benefits to capturing biogas from your organic waste.
- New revenue streams
Partner with us to upgrade biogas to biomethane for use in the energy sector.
By-products from biogas include CO2 and organic fertiliser.
- Reduce emissions
Capturing biomethane for energy reduces the amount being released into the atmosphere.
- Reduce waste volumes
Divert organic waste from landfill.
- Reduce costs
Reduce disposal costs for your waste.
The ingredients for biogas
Any organic material emits biogas as it decomposes. We’re interested in partnering to produce biogas at scale using any of these types of feedstock.
Landfill
Organic household waste, food waste.

Get in touch
We’re ambitious to see a network of regional facilities producing biomethane for our gas customers. We’re looking for more opportunities to partner with waste producers and managers.
We have projects underway
We already have two initiatives in progress to investigate producing biomethane.
