Greenpeace Aotearoa is denouncing Ballance Agri-nutrients\u2019 call for more fossil gas production, maintaining that urea needs to be phased out altogether.<\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace spokesperson Amanda Larsson says, \u201cUrea drives climate change and freshwater pollution, no matter how it\u2019s made, and should be phased out.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cCalling for more fossil gas extraction in the middle of a climate crisis is obviously ludicrous. But what might be less obvious is that urea produced from green hydrogen still causes climate and water pollution. Ultimately Ballance needs to cease urea production altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Elevated nitrate levels in drinking water, caused primarily by fertilisers like urea and dairy cows raised on pastures grown using the synthetic nitrogen, have been linked to increased risk of colorectal cancers and preterm births.<\/p>\n\n

The use of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser in Aotearoa is directly responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire domestic aviation sector. Indirectly, synthetic nitrogen fertiliser is a key enabler of intensive dairying, which is the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Aotearoa.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cSince production of urea at Kapuni began, the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilisers has increased nearly sevenfold in New Zealand, primarily to supply the intensive dairy sector which has seen cow numbers increase by 82% between 1990 and 2019,\u201d says Larsson.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe consequences for New Zealand\u2019s rivers are plain to see with algal blooms making popular swimming sites unsafe and increased contamination of source water. For the sake of people\u2019s health, a stable climate and healthy freshwater ecosystems, Ballance needs to phase out the production of urea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace, together with several hap\u016b of Ng\u0101ruahine, opposed the hydrogen-urea plant in the courts<\/a>. While supportive of green hydrogen use for transport fuel, the environmental organisation opposed its use for urea production. The hap\u016b, in turn, opposed the turbine location, calling upon Hiringa to site the four proposed wind turbines that would power the hydrogen electrolyser at a location closer to the coast. This is because Hiringa\u2019s proposed site would have made the windmills dominant in a highly valued cultural landscape, blocking views of Taranaki Maunga and impacting hap\u016b relationships with an ancestral mountain.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cHiringa and Ballance could have satisfied the concerns of environmental organisations and hap\u016b by siting the turbines at a culturally appropriate location and committing to use the hydrogen for transport fuel instead of polluting urea,\u201d says Larsson.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe need heaps more renewables to transition away from fossil fuels that are driving climate devastation. However, clean energy projects must also be genuinely used for the purpose of displacing pollution, rather than for creating chemicals that are themselves a key driver of ongoing freshwater and climate pollution, as is the case with urea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Larsson says today\u2019s decision from Ballance is clearly in response to a shift in Government policy under the new Luxon administration.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cBy removing environmental protections, promoting fossil fuels and intensive dairy farming, Luxon\u2019s government of climate extremists are opting for a future where New Zealand\u2019s costly climate emissions continue to rise, and we pour more fuel on the fire of climate disasters that are already threatening communities around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
