36668 (2025). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Associate Minister for Energy: What advice, if any, has he requested or received about biogas's potential to increase New Zealand's fuel security during the development of the Draft Fuel Security Plan?

Hon Shane Jones: I have not requested advice on biogas. Biogas is not expected to play a significant role in New Zealand’s transport fuel security. In the transport sector, electrification and other alternative technologies are shown to offer more scalable and strategic solutions to improve fuel security.
