A new Bio-Refinery at the Marsden Point Energy Precinct is being proposed.

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited announces it has entered into a conditional project development agreement with Seadra Energy Inc, who is partnering with the likes of Qantas, Renova Inc, Kent Plc, and ANZ.

It would utilize some of the decommissioned oil refinery assets which would be refurbished and reconfigured- taking up approximately 18-20 hectares of land on the site.

Brian Cox, Bioenergy Association Chief executive shares his thoughts with Ryan Bridge. “The aspect is we could use the natural resources that New Zealand is rich for. The biggest part is biomass from trees,” says Cox.

He states that it could be processed to be used as either fuel or plastic.
