A new biomass project has been launched in Queensland, with Energy Parks Australia partnering with Aquaflow Bionomic Corporation to develop the infrastructure for energy parks to produce Next Generation biofuels from multi-biomass sources.
The partners have identified the first site on the Sunshine Coast, and is searching for more suitable locations.
Aquaflow chair Barrie Leay says algae, wood waste, bagasse and other green municipal waste can all be converted to the next generation of biofuels to power cars and aeroplanes.
“Aquaflow is a world leader in converting waste biomass to liquid bio-fuels,” he said.
“Our partnerships have inclued Boeing, Honeywell/UOP, CRI Catalyst company and other international companies, and we have worked with the US Departmnts of Energy and Department of Defence as funding agencies.”
Queensland produces milliones of tonnes of waste biomass each year from the sugar and forestry industries, all of which can be converted to liquid fuels.
