Miraka, a dairy company owned by Māori, has unveiled New Zealand's first green hydrogen milk collection tanker at its dairy plant in Mokai, near Taupō. This 700hp Volvo tanker operates on green hydrogen-diesel dual fuel and is a major milestone for Miraka, reflecting its commitment to environmental sustainability. The company's cultural advisor, Eileen Bowden, highlighted the significance of this launch, emphasizing Miraka's dedication to kaitiakitanga (guardianship) principles. Miraka's chairman, Bruce Scott, and CEO, Karl Gradon, expressed pride in reducing milk collection CO2 emissions by 35% per vehicle through this innovation. The partnership with Central Transport and Halcyon Power resulted in the creation of a Rural Hydrogen Hub, with plans for national expansion. Tūaropaki Trust, a key shareholder in Miraka, contributes geothermal energy to the dairy plant through the Mokai Power Station. Through a collaboration with Japan's Obayashi Corporation, Tūaropaki established Halcyon Power, the first commercial-scale green hydrogen plant in New Zealand. This initiative signifies a significant advancement in sustainable dairy practices in the country, paving the way for future green technology adoption in the industry.
