Sustainability

Our Journey

NZPGS has taken a significant step towards environmental leadership, sparked by challenges of noise and fume issues at residential sites.

Recognising our obligation to address escalating carbon emissions and energy instability across New Zealand, we initiated thorough research over three years to explore viable solutions.

In line with our values and vision, we are proud to offer the New Zealand and Pacific market sustainable energy solutions that address evolving client needs. Among the options we've explored, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as a standout, showing remarkable efficiency rates.

BESS not only enables the seamless integration of renewable energy sources with storage but also promotes zero-carbon emissions during operation. The hybrid capabilities of BESS offer additional benefits, particularly in carbon reduction and cost savings when paired with diesel generators.

At NZPGS, our commitment extends beyond meeting regulatory standards.

We strive to minimise environmental impacts through a tailored approach that ensures our decisions are both sustainable and economically viable.

By leveraging the right equipment for each application, we aim to deliver solutions that not only benefit our clients but also contribute positively to the planet.

Our Emissions

At NZPGS, we operate a fleet of vehicles used by our employees for transporting equipment and providing services to our clients.

As such, our primary source of emissions stems from fuel usage.

To address this, we have invested in modern, fuel-efficient commercial vehicles as part of our commitment to reducing our environmental impact.

Sustainable Development Goals

NZPGS integrates renewable energy sources, optimising energy use with advanced storage solutions. By storing energy for future use and bolstering grid stability during peak demand, we contribute to a more resilient energy ecosystem.

Promoting sustainable communities and workplaces motivates us, alongside integrating cutting-edge BESS technology. By reducing fuel consumption, especially in urban areas prone to heat island effects, we actively mitigate air pollution and foster healthier environments for all.

At our company, climate action is paramount. We prioritise carbon emission reduction in our engineering solutions for clients, integrating sustainability into our work. We diligently report on our emissions, fostering continuous improvement and striving for greater environmental compliance.

Case Study: Construction / Temporary offices
(6-month project)

60 kVA Genset

The diesel generator operates for 12 hours per day at a low load of 10%, consuming fuel at a rate of 3.3 litres per hour.

Over the course of a working week, it burns a total of 198 litres of diesel.

Hybrid application

DIESEL GENERATOR + BESS (200 kwh)

The BESS provides nearly 3 full working days of power (31.2 hours) and requires only 3.5 hours to recharge using a 60 kVA generator.

By integrating BESS in this application, you could save 5,122 litres of fuel.

Resulting in a reduction of 13,727 kg of carbon emitted over the duration of this 6-month project.

Additionally, this would lead to savings of $17,607 on fuel costs. (Additional savings if participating in the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS).
