Tuesday, 25 May 2021, 5:09 pm New modelling released today shows an ongoing and important role for natural gas until 2050, especially to support renewable electricity in times of shortages. The TIMES-NZ 2.0 modelling was prepared by the BusinessNZ Energy Council, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) and the Switzerland-based Paul Scherrer Institute. The two scenarios show fossil fuels still providing 22% and 33% of total energy demand by 2050, at the same time as energy emissions fall greatly. "This bottom-up modelling is very useful and illustrates there are many differen...

The report also contained methane-cutting tips for consumers: to boost the energy efficiency of our homes, appliances and lightbulbs, to minimise waste (particularly of food) and to eat a healthy diet, without too much meat and dairy. The research calculated 40 per cent of the world’s methane is produced by farming – roughly 32 per cent from livestock and 8 per cent from rice paddies. Fossil fuel extraction, processing, and distribution account for another 35 per cent of methane. Waste produces another 20 per cent. “Lower methane concentrations would rapidly reduce the rate of warmin...
