Our energy market is facing considerable challenges right now: rising gas prices, a steady decline in local gas production, and the country’s ambitious decarbonisation targets are creating significant pressure for businesses to adapt. The era of cheap, reliable gas is fading, and for industries that rely on it, the time to act is now. Businesses need to move beyond merely coping with the changes and start embracing practical, forward-thinking solutions that drive efficiency, reduce costs and are future proofed.

As the pressure to reduce fossil fuel dependency grows, there’s an opportunity for businesses to innovate. By adopting energy-efficient technologies and lower carbon alternatives, companies can gain a competitive edge while managing the immediate impacts of the gas crisis and preparing for a future with more sustainable energy sources.

Priority One and DETA are excited to deliver an upcoming workshop that will take a deep dive into the future of process heat in the North Island. This workshop will explore key insights from our latest leadership paper, New Zealand’s Process Heat Fuel Future – Te Ika-a-Māui, providing a roadmap for industrial decarbonisation.

We'll cover:

The role of electrification, biomass and alternative fuels in replacing fossil fuel-based process heat.
Regional fuel supply and infrastructure considerations specific to the BOP region.
Practical strategies for you to future-proof energy systems and manage transition risks.

With New Zealand’s ambitious emissions targets and increasing market pressures, it's critical to understanding your future fuel options and unlock the starting blocks. Whether you're an industrial energy user, supplier or policymaker, this session will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the transition.
