This report follows a review into how organic waste can be converted into energy for the Australian chicken meat industry. While the project covers many aspects of organic waste, the focus is primarily on the chicken meat industry.
In recent years, significant research has been undertaken on converting wastes to energy both within Australia and overseas. This report covers the current state of national and international waste to energy technologies and projects and uses this information to further investigate the feasibility of utilising waste to energy systems in the Australian chicken meat industry.
