Energy Assignment Part 2

In New Zealand, they use many different sources of energy, they try to split the amount of renewable and un-renewable energy used, but the type of energy they use the most is oil. The highest renewable form of energy they use is geothermal. Oil and gas is produced from 21 petroleum licenses / permits, all in the Taranaki basin. The most important fields are Kapuni, Maui, Pohokura and Kupe. Exploration for oil and gas reserves includes the Great South Basin and offshore areas near Canterbury and Gisborne. New Zealand uses most of the oil they get for international travels with commercial boats and planes. There have been quite a number of oil spills and especially in New Zealand's tropical unique land scape, the oil spills have really affect the beautiful coral reefs off the coasts. The current cost is about 67.129 cents per litre.
