Technical Note SB98: Calculating emissions produced by industrial process heat

The NZ Government has released a National Policy Statement (NPS) and National Environmental Standard (NES) for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from Industrial Process Heat, that came into force 27 July 2023.  Councils are now required to factor in emissions produced by industrial process heat when assessing air discharge resource consent applications.  The regulations provide a nationally consistent framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from industrial process heat.
