Opportunity proposes methane trading scheme, $5b climate adaptation plan
Opportunity wants to explore an emissions cap-and-trade scheme for methane and will commit $5 billion to climate adaptation, it says. The party has released its full climate policy ahead of the 2026 general election, saying it is time to restore the cross-party consensus that led to New Zealand's zero carbon laws. Its pledges include a $1 billion transition fund for industrial gas and coal users, and a $5 billion climate resilience fund to strengthen transport, energy and water networks against extreme weather. Similar funds existed under the previous government but were scrapped by the National-led coalition, which says it is still funding climate resilience through transport and other budgets, rather than an earmarked fund. The resilience fund would tag $500 million for "nature-based solutions" like restoring wetlands, while community groups and marae would also receive some of the funding for local projects. The party said it would also introduce tax write-offs for home and business energy improvements like EVs, batteries and rooftop solar. It confirmed its support for low-interest green loans administered by local councils - a policy proposed by Local Government New Zealand that has also been adopted by National, Labour and the Greens. Opportunity leader Qiulae Wong said...

Underground Methane Leaks May Cultivate Microbes That Help Consume Them
Newswise — DALLAS (SMU) – Researchers at SMU have identified where naturally occurring soil microbes consume methane released from underground natural gas leaks before it reaches the atmosphere. A new study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology found that methane-consuming microbes were most active in a narrow zone near the surface where methane rising from below meets oxygen entering from the atmosphere. The findings also identified previously underrecognized soil bacteria that appear well adapted to repeated methane exposure, offering new insight into how soils respond to persistent underground leaks. "We know a great deal about measuring methane once it reaches the ground surface, but much less about what happens as it moves through the soil,” Smits said. “By combining a controlled natural gas release with measurements at different depths, we were able to identify where methane and oxygen overlap and where methane-consuming microorganisms have the greatest opportunity to act before reaching the atmosphere." A controlled underground natural gas release To investigate how soil microorganisms respond to an underground natural gas leak, the research team conducted a controlled field experiment in which natural gas was released at a known rate below the ground surface. Led by SMU researchers Kathleen...
