This project aimed to assess the potential for pine plantation post-harvest residues to be used to generate energy in a behind-the-meter scheme for a business or community facility in the Alpine Shire.

Key outcomes

1. Identified businesses and facilities with the potential and willingness to make use of plantation residues. 

2. Identified and understood costs and benefits of generating energy from post-harvest residues for identified businesses and facilities. 

3. Clarity and understanding within involved businesses of the economic and environmental benefits and costs of using post-harvest residues to create energy and awareness of the process they would need to undertake to implement such a system.
