Submission: Gas Transition Plan Issues Paper (GasNZ)

About us

GasNZ is the industry voice for gas. We want New Zealanders to enjoy the benefits of gas today and in the future. We advocate for safe and efficient use of existing gas resources, while supporting the transition to greater amounts of renewable, low-emission gases for homes, business and industry.

Our purpose recognises that gas is an essential part of New Zealand’s shared energy future and that, for many homes and businesses, there’s no alternative to gas to adequately meet their needs.

Our members have interests in natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), biogas and hydrogen. From all parts of the gas supply chain, our members are a broad range of gas businesses committed to a net zero carbon future.

GasNZ was formed through a merger of the Gas Association of New Zealand (established in 1909) and the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association of New Zealand (established in 1977), combined with the express inclusion of renewable gas interests and investors.

Our submission

The focus of our submission is that gas is a fuel in transition, and gas in its many forms for energy will serve New Zealand well through the transition to a net zero carbon future and beyond.
