Turning Waste Into Energy

Turning Waste in Energy: Transforming Biomass with Dry Plug Flow Anaerobiv Fermentation

As the world moves toward a circular economy, agricultural waste has become one of the most valuable untapped resources in renewable energy. Our biomass project focuses on advancing dry plug-flow anaerobic fermentation, a high-solids digestion technology designed to convert agricultural residues into clean, methane-rich biogas.

This system excels in processing materials like sugarcane fibre, pineapple waste, and palm-oil byproducts—resources that remain abundant across the agricultural sector. By using high-solids anaerobic digestion, these materials can be transformed into renewable energy without excessive pre-treatment or water demand. The result is efficient biogas production with lower operational inputs and higher sustainability outcomes.

Aim of this study is to deliver practical, scalable solutions that help farms, processors, and industry operators turn waste streams into energy sources. Through innovative engineering and process optimisation, we are supporting the growth of biomass energy solutions that reduce emissions, cut waste disposal costs, and promote a cleaner, greener energy future for Australia
