Biofuels

Biofuel blends are one way New Zealand drivers can help address climate change impacts, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport.

Sustainably-produced biofuels have many benefits for New Zealand. By using a renewable alternative to fossil fuels to run our transport fleets we can:

• Help meet our climate change targets
• Improve air quality by reducing air pollution

• Lessen our dependence on imported oil.
