Ko Rūhia, hei whenua rauemi hau māori nui o te ao me te mākete kaihoko, kei te whakapai tonu i tana hanganga pūngao kawe waka. Hei urutau ki ōna āhuatanga makariri me te āhuarangi o te taha tonga o te moana, kua whakatinanahia, ā, kua whakamahia hoki he puranga o ngā taputapu tuku hau māori kōpeke (CNG) i hangaia mō ngā taiao tino iti te pāmahana puta noa i ngā rohe maha o Rūhia. Ka taea e ēnei waeine te pupuri i te mahi whakakī hinu pumau me te haumaru ahakoa i roto i ngā āhuatanga kino tae atu ki te -40℃ me tua atu, e tautoko kaha ana i te whakawhiti ki te pūngao ma i roto i ngā waka a te iwi whānui, ngā mahi kawe waka, me ētahi atu rāngai.

Ka whakamahia e tēnei raupapa o ngā taputapu tohatoha he maitai pāmahana tino iti me te hangarau hiri ātete-hukapapa, me ngā wāhanga matua e whakauru ana i ngā pūnaha whakamahana hohe me ngā pūnaha whakahaere pāmahana atamai hei whakarite i te urupare tere me te ine tika ahakoa i te makariri rawa. Kua whakapakarihia te hoahoa hanganga mō te ātete ki te hukapapa, me te maimoatanga mata e ārai ana i te hanganga hukapapa, ā, kua arotauhia te atanga mahi mō ngā taiao pāmahana iti hei whakarite i te whakamahinga pono e ngā kaimahi i ngā āhuarangi kino.

I te mea he whānui te rohe o Rūhia me te tohatoha o ngā teihana hiko, kua rite ngā taputapu tuku hiko ki ngā waeine hiko ātete-iti-mahana me te pūnaha whakahaere me te tiaki mamao. Mā tēnei ka taea te aroturuki i te tūnga o ngā taputapu, ngā raraunga whakakī hinu, me ngā tawhā taiao i te wā tūturu, me te tautoko i ngā tātaritanga mamao me ngā hapa, ka whakaiti nui i ngā utu tiaki me ngā utu whakahaere i ngā āhuarangi tino kino. Hei tāpiri, ka hototahi ngā taputapu ki ngā pūnaha whakahaere teihana ā-rohe me ngā kawa whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mō te whakaurunga maeneene ki ngā whatunga whakahaere pūngao o nāianei.

I te roanga o te whakatinanatanga o te kaupapa, i whai whakaaro katoa te tīma hangarau ki ngā āhuatanga o te āhuarangi ā-rohe o Rūhia me ngā paerewa whakahaere, me te whakarato ratonga mai i te whakamana hoahoa ātete-huka me te whakamātautau mara ki te tāutanga, te whakatinanatanga, me te whakangungu ā-rohe. Mā tēnei ka whakarite i te pono teitei o ngā taputapu mō te wā roa i roto i ngā taiao pāmahana iti pumau. Ko te tono angitu o ēnei taputapu whakaputa hinu ehara i te mea ka whakarei ake i te taumata ratonga o te hanganga whakakī hinu CNG o Rūhia i raro i ngā āhuatanga tino kino engari ka whakarato hoki i tētahi tauira hangarau me ngā taputapu tohutoro mō te whakatairanga i te hau māori i roto i te kawe waka ma i roto i ētahi atu rohe makariri o te ao.

I te tirohanga whakamua, i te mea kei te piki haere tonu te hiahia o Rūhia mō te pūngao kawe waka ma, ka taea e ngā rōpū e tika ana te whakarato i ngā otinga whakakī hinu CNG, LNG, me te hauwai kua whakauruhia e tika ana mō ngā āhuarangi tino makariri, hei tautoko i te whenua ki te hanga i tētahi pūnaha tuku pūngao kawe waka e kaha ake ana, e pumau ake ana hoki.
