  • What is the New Zealand ETS and how does it affect fuel pricing?

    01/07/2010 - FAQs

    In 2008, the government introduced legislation enabling the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme with the intention of helping to manage New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions obligations.

  • Why is the fuel price increasing?

    01/07/2010 - FAQs

    The fuel price will increase to reflect the cost of greenhouse gas emissions on all fossil fuels payable to the government to comply with the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme obligations from 1 July 2010.

  • Will biofuels be covered by the emissions trading scheme?

    01/07/2010 - FAQs

    Biofuels are treated as zero rated for emissions trading. Where a blend of biofuel and fossil fuel are manufactured, emission cost will only apply to the fossil fuel component.

  • What greenhouse gas-producing activities from transport are covered by the emissions trading scheme?

    01/07/2010 - FAQs

    Most forms of transport are fuelled by liquid fossil fuels, such as petrol and diesel, which result in emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The emissions trading scheme covers liquid fossil fuels sold in New Zealand for domestic purposes.

  • How much will the fuel price increase by?

    01/07/2010 - FAQs

    As a result of the ETS, the Environment Ministry says it expects fuel prices to increase by about 3.5c/l. The 3.5 c/l price rise indicated by the Environment Ministry is an expected average across petrol and diesel.

    01/07/2010 - FAQs
