At Waiheke LPG we recognize that liquid petroleum gas is a fossil fuel which is finite and
also is a recognized contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Gas is the cleanest burning,
lowest emission fossil fuel, though it still emits more carbon dioxide than renewable sources
of energy. We believe that LPG is currently a needed energy source on Waiheke for cooking,
heating and other uses and have a view that LPG is a necessary “transition” fuel source as we
strive to become more energy resilient and ecologically sustainable.
We are committed to the journey of significantly offsetting the CO2 emissions created from
all LPG sold from the facility. To this end we wish to support the raising of native trees for
planting on the island and are seeking to support community groups who have established or
new tree planting initiatives in place.
