Sustainable Biofuel Obligation Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 21 Jun 2023

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

The bill introduces an obligation for any person or company that imports or refines more than 50,000 litres of liquid fossil fuels for transport in New Zealand, excluding aviation fuels, to reduce the greehouse gas emissions intensity of those fuels by also supplying sustainable biofuels.
