This assessment provides an evidence base to support biomethane and other renewable fuels development in Victoria by identifying where sustainable biomass resources are available and how they could contribute to renewable gas supply.
It examines a range of feedstocks - including agricultural residues, forestry and wood processing residues, organic municipal waste, wastewater and landfill gas - and considers their practical availability, competing uses and geographic distribution.
Together with an interactive data visualisation, the assessment helps industry, government and stakeholders better understand the realistic potential for biomethane and other renewable fuel production across Victoria.
What the assessment covers
The assessment examines biomass resources including:
- agricultural residues
- forestry and wood processing residues
- organic municipal solid waste
- biogas collected from wastewater and landfill gas.
The analysis considers:
- theoretical and practically available biomass
- geographic distribution of biomass across Victoria
- biomethane production potential across Victoria.
Data visualisation
An interactive data visualisation accompanies the report and allows users to explore:
- biomethane, measured in terajoules, by local government areas and regions
- biomass categories
- biomethane energy potential over different timeframes.
