Overview of biogas developments in Australia
• Biogas capture more common in municipal waste treatment and landfill industry • Most sites employ cogeneration (electrical power and
heat) units Substrate/Plant

Sewage sludge 49 19 221
Biowaste 4 2 15

AD in the livestock industry and technology
• Intensive livestock industries in Australia have been slow to adopt biogas technology
– Relatively inexpensive alternative energy sources – Relatively high cost and lack of proven technology
suitable for Australian production systems – Absence of Government incentives, in comparison to
other countries

Current biogas drivers
• Rapidly increasing energy costs • Odour emission and urban encroachment onto
traditional rural areas • Potential for improved regulatory compliance • Potential for higher value liquid and solid by-
products (organic fertiliser) • Move to larger, more intensive production units • Reduced carbon footprint
– Reduced economic liability under a possible carbon emissions reduction scheme
– Possible renewable energy credits – Reduced consumption of fossil fuels

Covered Anaerobic Lagoon (CALs) Technology
• Covered anaerobic lagoons are the preferred technology to treat livestock waste and waste water from food processing plants – Climatic conditions and land availability
• Benefits – Opportunity to control odours – Capture of greenhouse gases – Use of biogas to generate heat and power

CAL Technology • Simple to build and operate • Significant reduction in BOD • Require greater volume (∴ area/footprint)
