New Zealand utility moves on biomethane after positive studies

  • Gas
  • June 17, 2025

New Zealand North Island energy distributor Powerco has completed two feasibility investigations into upgrading biogas to biomethane for use in its gas network.

In April 2024, Powerco launched initiatives with Manawatū District Council (MDC) and Midwest Disposals to conduct technical analysis and engineering design at the Manawatū Wastewater Treatment Plant and the wider Manawatū Resource Recovery Park, plus Bonny Glen landfill.

Those assessments are now complete and conclude the projects are feasible.

Powerco is now proceeding into front end engineering design (FEED) with MDC, and is looking at options for Midwest Disposals.
