Kiwis receive free biofuel when they help ‘save the world'

Kiwis receive free biofuel when they help ‘save the entire world’

New DB Export campaign kicks off with Gull partnership offering Kiwis free biofuel

01 October 2018: As a fuel tax excise hits New Zealand today increasing fuel prices around the country by 3.5 cents + GST, Gull and DB Export have partnered up to bring back DB Export Brewtroleum, biofuel made from natural beer waste, and are offering Kiwis the chance to win free biofuel vouchers to help ease their wallets and feel good about using fuel that is lower in emissions.

To win the fuel vouchers, Kiwis are being asked for a ‘world saving idea’ as DB Export kicks off a campaign that encourages New Zealanders to think outside-the-box about sustainability.

Sean O’Donnell, Marketing Director at DB Breweries says: “DB Export is committed to acting sustainably, and over the last three years has created two incredible, world-changing initiatives – Brewtroleum and Beer Bottle Sand. Now we are asking Kiwis for ideas of their own to help ‘save the entire world’, all people need to do is submit their world-saving ideas to be in to win up to $50,000.”

“To kick off the campaign, and considering fuel prices are increasing around the country today, we thought the timing was right to bring back DB Export Brewtroleum to Gull. You'll probably remember it from the last few years, we actually made a biofuel from natural beer waste.”

David Bodger, General Manager of Gull New Zealand Ltd says: “We believe in providing the best value to Kiwi motorists every day, we care about our country and we care about fuel. With DB Export Brewtroleum we’re helping to reduce waste and the resulting biofuel is cleaner burning with reduced emissions– it’s a win, win.”
