CRL energy report on life cycle asssessment of tallow biodiesel

Research and reports

1 March 2009

This study by CRL provides a life cycle assessment of one of the more attractive biofuel options for New Zealand, namely biodiesel derived from domestically produced tallow.
This life cycle assessment involved a primary energy and greenhouse gas emissions inventory of the production of tallow-derived biodiesel in New Zealand, from the farmer's paddock to the
exit gate of the biodiesel plant. The results of this analysis found tallow-derived biodiesel to have a primary energy input/output of 0.50. This compares to an energy input/output of 1.19 for

Distributed generation: study of alternative energy supply options for remote communities

Research and reports

1 March 2009

The report examines the potential for small scale generation and energy management in five remote sites in South Canterbury. Technical information and economic costs and benefits for a variety of options in each location are presented.
The report illustrates that - with the right set of conditions - small scale generation can be a viable alternative option for lines companies in the following applications:
• It can replace an existing remote lines supply, particularly where:
o The line length is relatively long and dedicated to only one or two consumers;

Developing Small-Scale Renewable Energy Projects in New Zealand

Research and reports

1 March 2009

This report provides high level guidance to independent renewable energy project developers who wish to investigate and progress distributed generation projects.

This report was commissioned by EECA and prepared by Sinclair Knight Merz Pty Ltd. The report focuses on geothermal, hydro and wind projects in the range of 10 kW to 20 MW. The report makes developers aware of the range of issues that need to be addressed at the early stages of such projects, up until the point when developers typically seek tender submissions for detailed design and equipment supply.
