energy farmers - bioenergy and biomass

Millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases are

released into the atmosphere from agriculture.

Through new agricultural systems

we can reduce these emissions

and create new revenue streams for farmers.

We are…

We have combined our engineering

and agriculture skills to develop

bioenergy and waste to energy

projects.

Our vision is farmers using their wastes

to drive sustainable bioenergy projects.

Our mission is to provide the pathways

between biomass resources and

technology.

Our goal is to be recognised as a

leading agricultural based biomass development company in Australia.

We are building a strong support team

with a range of experiences…

Dr Stephen Joseph – Senior Technical Advisor

Dr Paul Blackwell – Senior Scientific Advisor

Jonathon Haeusler - Principal Lawyer

Lyndon Crudelli - Principal Accountant

Our business model guarantees

feedstock supply and shares the

benefits with stakeholders.

We’ve been getting our hands dirty…

and engaging with farmers…

and industry.

We’ve also partnered with technology providers…

and invested in our own.

We are doing research and testing…

on feedstocks…

manures, compost and biochar.

And we are looking forward to the exciting potential of biomass to liquids.

We are sharing our story…

and have been getting enquiries from

all over the world.

Our projects include:

Mid West Waste to Energy

Current Situation Mid West farmers burn approx. one million Ha’s of crop

residue to control chemical resistant weeds.

This is a resource going to waste, burning stubbles

reduces air quality, wastes nutrients and creates

greenhouse gas emissions.

Mid West Waste to Energy

Opportunity We can capture this resource (weeds included), and

process it via gasification/pyrolysis into power, heat and

biofuels.

Nutrient rich bi-products can be used to replace fossil

based fertilisers and to lock away carbon in the soil.

Mid West Waste to Energy

Status • We have signed a development agreement with

technology provider and initiated stage 1 of a 3 stage

development plan.

• We are conducting test work on crop residue and

municipal waste for nutrient balance and energy

value.

• We are engaging with farmers and potential

development partners.

Chandala Poultry

Current Situation Chandala Poultry produces approx. 3000 tonnes of

chicken litter/year. This waste represents a biosecurity

issue for the farm and creates methane and nitrous

oxide emissions.

Opportunity We plan to use pyrolysis to recover the energy from the

litter and meet the farms electrical, heat and cooling

requirements.

Chandala Poultry

Status • Signed MOA with Chandala Poultry

• Initiated test work on the chicken litter

• Constructing pyrolysis kiln for testwork.

• Identifying markets for biochar.

• Engaging with farmers to conduct crop trials using

biochar in the 2013 season

• Investigating methodology development under the

Carbon Faming Initiative.

These projects can be scaled up and

replicated globally. They all…

generate a commercial return

reduce agricultural emissions

produce renewable energy

create nutrient rich bi-products

store carbon in soils

generate carbon credits

provide local employment.
