NZ Bio Forestry transforms plantation forestry biomass into bio-fuels, bio-chemicals and innovative materials that can dramatically reduce the need for fossil fuels. With stakeholders in New Zealand, Taiwan and Singapore, our technology has been validated, and our business model is scalable.

The world is at a crossroads. Soaring carbon emissions mean petroleum can no longer be the primary source of energy and materials to drive industry. 

Research has shown how to replace fossil fuels with bio-fuels – but this switch to sustainable energy comes at enormous cost. By converting productive farmland to bio-energy crops, the world risks severe food shortages 

NZ Bio Forestry has avoided these traps. We have the IP, industrial expertise and systems knowledge to convert plantation biomass into alternative energy and industrial resources without displacing food production. 

The technology exists, and so does the perfect place to scale and commercialise it: Aotearoa New Zealand.

In 2017 a group of partners from Aotearoa-New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan joined forces to develop a proposal. Their mission: To create a sustainable and renewable bio-economy that provided scalable alternatives to fossil and petrochemical products.

 The New Zealand team, led by Māori, had a vision of a business anchored on 'mauri', i.e. the living essence and life-science of forests. The Taiwan and Singapore teams also wanted to create a generational mind-shift away from unsustainable and non-renewable resources that degrade the environment.

Three small, developed economies – joining forces to leverage their assets and expertise.
