The Government has identified clear goals for increasing renewable electricity generation through the New Zealand Energy Strategy 2011-2021 which includes a target that 90 % of electricity generation from renewable sources by 2025 providing this does not affect security of supply . This is supported by the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy 2011-2021 which includes an electricity system objective for "an efficient, renewable electricity system supporting New Zealand’s global competitiveness."

The Government’s approach to developing New Zealand’s renewable energy resources is to ensure market incentives and the regulatory framework support further investment in appropriate renewable energy projects by removing any unnecessary regulatory barriers. There is no governmental subsidy for a new electricity generation in New Zealand since renewable energy is already cost-competitive as a new source of electricity generation, however, the NZ ETS is intended to send a clear price signal and create a competitive advantage for renewable generation.

A number of Crown Research Institutes include renewable energy within their Statements of Core Purpose, and invest core funding to support capability in this area.

The Government’s business research and development (R & D) funding programmes are now managed by Callaghan Innovation, a Crown entity set up to accelerate the commercialisation of innovation by businesses in New Zealand. Callaghan Innovation administers more than $140m a year in business R & D funding through three programmes grants:

R & D Growth Grants designed to increase R & D investment in businesses with a strong track record for R and D spending in New Zealand

R&D Project Grants designed to support greater investment by businesses in R and D activities especially those with less established R & D programmes, and

R&D Students Grants designed to support New Zealand undergraduate and postgraduate students to gain and develop their technical skills in a commercial research environment, while bringing capability into New Zealand businesses.

Why the AI Boom Could Trigger the Biggest Energy Trade in Decades

Artificial intelligence is creating a new class of infrastructure giants virtually overnight, and one innovative Bitcoin miner that made an early leap into the global power business, feeding the voracious appetite of AI data centers, is now being rewarded for years spent securing massive amounts of low-cost electrical power around the world. Years before artificial intelligence triggered a global race for power capacity, Bitzero Holdings (NASDAQ: AIBZ) was using cash flow from Bitcoin mining operations to secure large amounts of low-cost electrical…

Qatar and the U.S. Warn EU of Gas Crunch Over Methane Regulation

The United States and Qatar have once again warned the European Union against doubling down on climate policies seeking to penalize the LNG industry, saying that if it continues on this course, the EU will face a gas crunch and higher prices. “There is no viable path to compliance with the regulation”, the top energy officials of the U.S. and Qatar, Chris Wright and Saad al-Kaabi, wrote in a letter quoted by the Financial Times. “Because legal compliance remains paramount, exporters and importers alike are unwilling to enter into…

Global Battery Storage Boom Is A Boon for Tesla

Global battery storage installations are booming, and so is Tesla’s utility-scale battery business. Tesla has just signed a multi-year supply and execution agreement with clean energy infrastructure provider NatPower for more than 25 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Europe, as the continent is accelerating battery deployment to make the most of its domestic renewable energy resources. Europe’s battery storage and renewables-plus-storage installations are booming and set to further accelerate in the coming…

Why Wet Coffee Grounds Might Be The Next Waste-To-Energy Goldmine

A team of researchers at the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) have just found a way to make biochar production faster and cheaper. The new method solves a major challenge in standard biochar production processes and potentially unlocks a recycling stream that can divert millions of tons of waste away from landfill annually and turn it into a productive energy source at a time when new energy alternatives are needed more urgently than ever before. Biochar is essentially charcoal that is made by heating up organic waste…

China’s Crude Imports Plunge To Lowest Level Since 2018

Oil prices remain headline-driven, taking direction from escalation and de-escalation in the U.S-Iran conflict in the near term. The first round of talks between the United States and Iran in Switzerland has concluded with positive comments from both sides, and an agreement to push for a final agreement within 60 days. However, there's considerable scepticism about whether more complex issues around nuclear technology and transit through the Strait of Hormuz can be fully resolved in the short timeframe. After all, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of…
