Australian Pork Limited commissioned this project to review current and proposed developments (both in Australia and overseas) in the field of biogas and energy production using anaerobic digestion of piggery and other organic by-products. It was demonstrated that systems are well established overseas but still developing in Australia. The Australian biogas plants predominately operate on gas produced from sewage waste, food and abattoir waste. The economic feasibility of the biogas industry will be improved through increased levels of Government support and attractive renewable energy pricing to the generator, however further research was recommended to quantify the costs, benefits and feasibility.
