Press Release: Bioenergy Association

Bioenergy Association congratulates Fonterra on its commitment to reduce coal use

The Bioenergy Association congratulates Fonterra on its commitment to reduce absolute emissions by 30% by 2030, and transition towards net zero emissions by 2050.

Brian Cox, Executive Officer, says Fonterra is already trialling co-firing wood biomass in existing coal boilers and the Co-op’s commitment to not installing any new coal boilers from 2030 sends a strong signal to the bioenergy industry. “Fonterra is a large energy user and their intention to transition away from coal will provide positive stimulus for the wood fuel supply sector to meet fuel demand.”

Wider point being : Swarbrick is a household name after three years in Parliament, and has been steering our cannabis laws towards a national referendum at this year’s election. Todd Muller has spent twice as long in Parliament as Swarbrick and yet – until last week – no one beyond his immediate family and friends had ever heard of him... More>>
