Decarbonisation – A Pathway for New Zealand Industry to Lead Locally and Globally
Lawson Williams partners with a wide range of businesses focussed on the future of technology, industry and manufacturing in New Zealand.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, decarbonisation is not just a response to climate change, it’s a powerful economic driver creating opportunities across industries. As global markets shift toward cleaner, more sustainable energy systems, New Zealand is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation by leveraging its natural resources, engineering expertise, and innovation culture. The question is: how can your business be part of this momentum?
Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group (Nikkiso CEIG) are offering some interesting solutions to industry and work at the forefront of clean technology. They offer tailored solutions such as geothermal energy recovery, CO₂ capture, liquefaction, LNG infrastructure, and waste heat recovery. These technologies are already transforming industries globally, and there’s untapped potential for New Zealand companies to be key players in this growth story.
Opportunities for NZ Industry to Scale and Compete Globally:
Local Innovation with Global Impact
New Zealand’s commitment to sustainability, particularly through clean energy solutions, positions its businesses as attractive global partners. By integrating advanced technologies such as CO₂ capture and LNG infrastructure, industries here can become leaders in exporting clean energy products and know-how to global markets.
Waste Heat Recovery
Unlocking Hidden Efficiency: Many local industries, including manufacturing, glass production, and food processing, have significant potential to optimise their operations through waste heat recovery systems. By improving efficiency and lowering carbon emissions, businesses can simultaneously reduce costs and increase their global competitiveness.
Geothermal Excellence as an Exportable Resource
With abundant geothermal resources, NZ industries can expand beyond local applications by developing expertise that’s valuable in other geothermal-rich regions globally. This presents opportunities to collaborate on projects abroad or license clean technologies to developing markets seeking sustainable growth.
Partnering for Secure, Local Food-Grade CO₂ Supply
NZ manufacturers, including those in food & beverage, horticulture, and other sectors relying on CO₂, should collaborate with local industry players to secure a consistent, domestic supply of food-grade CO₂. By capturing and purifying CO₂ from industrial processes or geothermal sources, businesses can reduce reliance on imports, strengthen supply chain resilience, and enhance sustainability efforts while maintaining high product quality and security.
LNG as a Strategic Transition Fuel
As industries transition to cleaner energy, LNG can serve as a bridge fuel that supports immediate emissions reduction while renewable energy infrastructure scales up. By investing in LNG storage, transportation, and regasification technologies, NZ businesses can secure energy resilience and build infrastructure that’s exportable across the Asia-Pacific.
What’s Next?
To lead this transition, businesses need to focus on partnerships, innovation, and knowledge sharing. By working with industry leaders like Nikkiso CEIG and collaborating across sectors, NZ companies can unlock new revenue streams, increase export potential, and secure long-term success in a decarbonised world. This is more than just adopting clean technology, it’s about creating an ecosystem where sustainable solutions thrive, and innovation drives global competitiveness.
