Our Approach
AgBioEn operates as a fully integrated renewable energy business, utilising world class technology to deliver clean, low emission renewable energy and liquid fuels from biomass.
Our renewable energy facilities utilise a combination of pyrolysis technology and Fischer-Tropsch gas-to-liquid processing to convert biomass into a number of renewable fuels. The entire fuel and energy processing system is fully integrated and closed loop to ensure minimum carbon footprint.
AGRICULture
AgBioEn will operate as a vertically integrated business, meaning biomass will be sourced from farms operated and maintained by AgBioEn. Our agricultural division will:
Aim to purchase, lease and/or share farms totalling over 2.5 million hectares across Australia
Operate a minimum of ~75,000 hectares by 2023
Utilise precision agriculture using sub-surface irrigation, sensors, drones, satellite, IOT and Big Data to create best in class agribusiness
Sell grains to food market from same crop used as biomass feedstock
Minimise and sequester carbon dioxide emissions where possible
Create low cost, secure source of continuous feedstock for renewable energy facility
RENEWABLE ENERGY AND FUEL
Our renewable energy facilities will utilise an Australian first biomass to fuel and energy operation involving pyrolysis technology and a Fischer Tropsch gas-to-liquid process. Key aspects of our facilities are as follows:
Closed loop and self sufficient, the facilities will use energy produced on site to run key machinery with excess for energy sent to the grid
CO2 capture and liquefaction
IOT and Big Data to monitor and encourage continuous improvement
Each major facility will produce a minimum of 150 million litres of renewable fuels
OFFTAKE
AgBioEn will be able to produce an increasing amount of renewable fuels as each facility becomes operational. We will be able to supply a number of high quality fuels, consistently, to Australian businesses and the public.
Bio-jet fuel for airlines and airports
Renewable diesel for the transport industry
Electricity to local partners with remaining energy to the grid via national retailers
CO2 to local partners with remainder to commercial manufactures of beverages, glass house horticulture, fire extinguishers etc
Ash to soil enrichment and road base
Carbon offset program
