About
WHY WE’RE HERE
Carbon Partners exists to help New Zealand industry move confidently into a low-carbon future.
We work with manufacturers and businesses to identify renewable energy solutions that not only meet today’s demands but also strengthen resilience for tomorrow.
Our focus is on thermal batteries and clean electricity, giving you the tools to reduce reliance on gas, cut emissions, and unlock long-term cost certainty.
By bringing the right partners together – from technology providers to policy makers – we make the transition achievable and affordable.
We’re genuinely here to help.
At Carbon Partners, we’re here to help New Zealand industry move beyond gas and into a cleaner, more resilient future.
Our focus is simple: making it easier for manufacturers to replace fossil-fuelled process heat with renewable electricity. Through Project Thermal, we’re leading the way in trialing and scaling thermal battery solutions that store and deliver clean heat when it’s needed most.
We’re not a technology vendor. We’re an independent advisory and project partner – which means we sit alongside you, your suppliers, and the wider energy sector to find what really works for your business.
Here’s how we do it:
Smart planning – Clear analysis and modelling to show the savings, emissions cuts, and operational benefits thermal batteries can deliver.
Hands-on delivery – Taking projects from idea to installation, with oversight through the entire journey.
Collaboration that counts – Bringing together government, manufacturers, and innovators through the Project Thermal Consortium so solutions don’t just look good on paper, they work on the ground.
Independent advice – We’re technology-agnostic and partner with a wide network across New Zealand, so you get options, not sales pitches.
We’re not part of the international Thermal Battery Alliance – our focus is right here in Aotearoa. We’re building a local ecosystem of thermal battery solutions designed for New Zealand industry. If you’re keen to see what thermal batteries could mean for your business, or if you’d like to help shape the future of clean heat in New Zealand, we’d love to talk.
Professional Expertise
Our team combines deep experience in New Zealand’s energy sector with a practical understanding of industry needs.
From executives to technical specialists, we bring proven know-how, strong networks, and hands-on insight.
We start by listening – ensuring your renewable generation and storage plans are shaped around what matters most to your business.
Proven Processes and Strategies
At Carbon Partners, we use a clear framework to assess your site and design a project plan around your exact needs.
From solar generation to thermal batteries for process heat, our modelling tools test performance, cost, and grid balancing potential – so you can move forward with confidence in a long-term, efficient solution.
Ongoing Support & Reporting
We don’t just set you up and walk away. We work alongside you to ensure your system runs smoothly for the long term.
From carbon-zero build planning through to hands-on maintenance strategies, we help New Zealand manufacturers track performance, manage costs, and make the most of surplus electricity returned to the grid – boosting resilience, competitiveness, and sustainable growth.
