It is being paired with funding to support businesses to transition away from fossil fuels for industrial processing.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cBurning dirty fuels like coal, gas and oil is causing a climate crisis. Fortunately, we don\u2019t need to do this anymore. We already have the technology and the tools to power our homes, transport and businesses with clean energy from the sun, wind, wood and water,\u201d says Larsson.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe can have homegrown and locally-produced energy that doesn\u2019t pollute the air or the ocean. Today\u2019s announcement is taking us a step closer to that reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Larsson expressed disappointment, however, that the Government is asking New Zealanders to wait more than 15 years to phase out dirty fuels from the industrial sector completely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe polluting companies causing climate change are putting our wellbeing at risk. We\u2019re seeing more storms, floods and droughts that are threatening coastal communities, food security and health.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cTo protect New Zealanders from the impacts of climate change, the Government must phase out all coal, gas and diesel by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Larsson also noted that industrial process heat contributes less than a tenth of New Zealand\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe Government needs to invest in the changes that will make the biggest difference. Right now, agriculture is New Zealand\u2019s biggest climate polluter, responsible for nearly half of all emissions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWhile today\u2019s announcement is a good step in the right direction, the key thing the Government must do is to turn agriculture from a climate polluter into a climate solution. That includes <a href=\"https:\/\/petition.act.greenpeace.org.nz\/agriculture-fertiliser\">phasing out synthetic nitrogen fertiliser<\/a>, which is driving intensive dairying, and investing
