A consortium of consultants, led by Hale and Twomey Limited, were commissioned by the Ministry of Transport and the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority (EECA) to undertake a significant part of the policy investigations for the biofuels sales obligation. The reports fill the requirements as outlined in the Enabling Biofuels scope document (PDF, 56kb).
The consultants investigated the areas of biofuels supply, distribution, vehicle risks, and the economics of bringing biofuels to the market in New Zealand. The design of the biofuels sales obligation draws upon the analysis and conclusions of these reports and the reports can all be downloaded here.
