Funded Activity Summary

Bio-oil from woody biomass - a sustainable fuel for Australia. At present many alternative energy supply systems suffer from factors like high costs, inefficiency and in some cases inappropriate application of immature technology and so are unsustainable. To overcome these problems, this research proposes the development of an integrated biomass solution to energy supply as well as dry land salinity. By doing so a sustainable and cost effective industry can be developed. Furthermore, if such an industry is based on advances in Australian research and development, exporting this to other countries with similar problems, will further enhance its economic and social benefit to Australia.
