The Government's looking to invest in more companies that can get the country more gas, fast. 

It's widening the scope for its $200 million gas co-investment fund. 

The fund —created to support new gas field developments— will now invest in a broader range of projects that will accelerate or increase the volume of gas to market. 

Energy Resources Aotearoa Chief Executive John Carnegie told Ryan Bridge it's an encouraging move. 

He says the focus should now be on creating durable policy settings to give investors confidence in the future.
