Bio-Energy Hub Plans for Kaingaroa | Auckland News
Description
A bold new vision is taking root in the Bay of Plenty: turning the Kaingaroa Forest Estate into a major bio-energy hub powered by forestry biomass. Led by NZ Bio Forestry and backed by Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Manawa, this project aims to slash fossil fuel dependence by converting wood into biofuels, chemicals, and renewable energy. With community meetings just held and construction possibly starting as early as this year, the plan could revive struggling towns like Kaingaroa and Murupara by creating lasting jobs and economic stability — and might even become a blueprint for bio-refineries nationwide.
