Decarbonising Wine

Written by  Staff Reporters

The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) has requested expressions of interest from wine companies willing to partner on projects to improve energy efficiency, and reduce costs and carbon emissions.

The authority has a Sector Decarbonisation Programme, and collaborates with industry associations and technical experts to connect New Zealand businesses with innovation and best practice guidance for decarbonising at a sector level.

It is working with Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand on up to four 'energy transition plans', based on up to four individual businesses, that represent "a full variation of the sector".

To express interest in partnering, contact EECA Sector Decarbonisation Programme Manager Insa Errey at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
