"New Zealand is confronting a perfect storm.

Its energy grid faces three pressing challenges at once: an unreliable
electricity supply, strict emissions reduction targets and ongoing
environmental issues related to wastewater ponds.

As the country prepares to meet growing energy demands, the variability of
wind, solar and hydroelectric power has made year-round electricity generation
hard to ensure.

Compounding the issue are New Zealand’s emissions targets and avoidable
emissions from wastewater treatment plants.

We need immediate, practical solutions. One lies hidden within our wastewater
systems."
