## Resource

A bold new proposal is heating up in the Bay of Plenty: a bioenergy hub in Kaingaroa Forest could turn forestry waste into biofuels and biochemicals, sparking a green industrial revolution. Backed by NZ Bio Forestry and Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Manawa, the project aims to revive struggling communities with full-time jobs, stable incomes, and even a potential sawmill. With a feasibility study underway and community input shaping the vision, this could be the start of New Zealand’s next big industrial leap — and construction might begin as early as next year.
