Australia's first biofuels pilot plant has officially opened in Gladstone, Queensland. The ceremony was presided over by the Premier of Queensland and the Minister for the Arts, Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk. The Northern Oil Advanced Biofuels Pilot Plant is a joint venture between Southern Oil and J.J. Richards & Sons. The project integrates cutting-edge technologies to produce biocrude and renewable fuels from waste.
The pilot plant will evaluate and process a range of waste products to convert into biofuels. Plastics, wood waste, Prickly Acacia, sugar cane trash and bagasse, urban and a variety of agricultural green waste are just some of the other waste streams set to be evaluated by the new facility.
