Gaseous Biofuels Working Groups
From time to time Biogas NZ has formed dedicated sub groups where members address specific gaseous biofuels sector issues. If you are specifically interested in one of these topics contact the Executive Officer.
Agricultural Feedstocks Working Group
The Bioenergy Association has established an Agricultural Feedstocks Working Group, and we encourage all interested members to get involved. This group develops and publishes information on agricultural feedstocks, shares expertise and works collaboratively to advance the sector. The group meets regularly and is open exclusively to members.
If you would like to join the Working Group, please contact us.

Taranaki Biogas Collective
The Taranaki Biogas Collective has been established to explore how biogas can support regional wellbeing through local jobs, energy resilience, environmental stewardship, and new economic opportunities within a circular bioeconomy.
Guided by a "For Taranaki, by Taranaki" kaupapa, the Collective is developing a regional anaerobic digestion (AD) pilot plant and associated laboratory services. The initiative aims to demonstrate how biogas can strengthen energy sovereignty, reduce emissions, retain valuable bioresources within the region, support local services, and create lasting benefits for future generations.
Founding contributors include:
The Collective welcomes collaboration from across the biogas value chain, including feedstock providers, energy and gas companies, industry organisations, councils, iwi, hapū, and community groups interested in advancing a sustainable bioeconomy for Taranaki.
