Responsible Farming-
The importance of Low Carbon Fuels
Machinery, transporting of crops and fertilisers are contributing towards high carbon emission. To help reduce the impact of these processes, self generated Bio-degradable waste can be re-purposed to generate transport fuel, fertilisers and power generation
Use of Bio-Methane from Anaerobic Digestion and Bio-Diesel from Sugar Cane, are just some of the ways farmers can use its own Bio-Waste to reduce their own costs and contribute towards achieving the Carbon Emissions goal of 2050

Crops and Storage
Farmers will benefit with the use of Biofuels and Low Carbon Fuels by:
1) Improving and protecting soil quality
2) Reducing dependence on non-renewable resources, such as artificial fertilisers and pesticides
3) Achieving a minimal impact on water quality, wildlife and other environmental resources
Processing and Transport
Anaerobic Digestion supports production of Bio-Methane which can be used as a natural gas substitute. Biomethane production eliminates the release of methane and other harmful gasses into the atmosphere
Quality of Crop
Bio-Char is a fertiliser alternative that uses organic material that has been heated using Pyrolysis to decompose and remove most of the Hydrogen and Oxygen containing molecules
Bio-Char can help reverse soil degradation and increase crop yields
Biofuels and Farming
Quality of Crops
Bio-char positively affects nutrient retention, especially in soils with poor ion-retention capacities
Fuel for Anaerobic Digestion
Waste generated through production processes can either be used or sold for heat and power generation
Land-fill Diversion
Landfill creating methane can be released into the air and contribute to climate change
Agri-waste has high energy conversion efficiency as compared to fossil fuel-based energy
Agri-waste can potentially be exploited for the production of second-generation Biofuels
Composted Agri-waste can be an alternative to energy-intensive chemical fertilisers in organic production systems
Value-added Agri-waste can be a potential feedstock for livestock and industrial products
