Information Sheet 54: Vision for converting residual organic waste to high value biogas and biofertiliser

By 2030 the production of biogas and biofertiliser via anaerobic digestion is commercially viable and an integral part of rapidly decarbonising energy system and resilient and sustainable food production in New Zealand, true to the principles of circular economy.

By 2050, NZ will have adopted the use of anaerobic digestion for production of biomethane from purpose grown agricultural crops. Anaerobic digestion derived biomethane will become a sustainable circular economy and industrial feedstock of choice to produce cost effective, sustainable and zero carbon bioplastics, biomaterials, biofertilisers and biofuels.
