Diesel represents a major cost and source of emissions. Opportunities exist to drive efficiency of use on-farm, substitute through use of alternative energy sources generated on or off-farm, as well as for growers to realise future market opportunities from crop-based energy sources. Australia currently has limited capacity to refine biofuel however we grow a large amount of feedstock such as canola which could be utilised for this purpose.
