Why does NZ still need gas when we have so many renewables?
New Zealand has fantastic renewable resources: sunshine, wind, geothermal and hydro. In the last quarter of 2025, renewables supplied 96.4% of the electricity generated – a new record. With almost all our electricity coming from renewables, why do we still need gas? There are two main reasons: first, electricity can’t do every energy job in our economy, and second, renewables aren’t yet meeting demand at peak times in dry years.
How can we scale up renewable gas in NZ?
With global geopolitics causing high fuel prices, how can we can grow our local renewable energy sector? Renewable gas can provide low-emissions, locally-produced energy – all from organics that would otherwise go to waste. New Zealand already has one major renewable gas project at Reporoa, but the latest GasNZ report shows the full potential of this technology.
Renewable gas action plan shows huge potential benefits
How do we achieve renewable gas that meets half of New Zealand’s natural gas demand by 2050? The latest GasNZ document is a brilliant start, says Peter Sandston, Acting GM for Future Fuels at Clarus.

Biomethane action plan could meet half of NZ’s natural gas demand by 2050
A new strategy from GasNZ highlights how renewable gas made from organic waste could help strengthen New Zealand’s energy security while reducing emissions. Biomethane could be a core part of New Zealand’s renewable energy supply by 2035 and meet up to half of natural gas demand by 2050, according to the newly released Biomethane Strategy and Action Plan.
