Biofuels

Overview

On this site you will find information on the Western Australian State Government Biofuels Taskforce and other important initiatives taken by the Federal and State Governments to develop the biofuels industry. The Biofuels News page provides the most recent news and media releases. You will also find practical documents dealing with the production of ethanol and biodiesel production. Our links page provides useful links to Government and Industry sites involved in biofuels throughout the world. To know about workshops and seminars related to biofuels, click on the Events page. To see pictures of our biofules demonstration trailer, visit our Gallery.

Life Cycle Assessment of Environmental Outcomes
and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Biofuels Production
in Western Australia

This study examines the full life-cycle of greenhouse gas emissions from the production of ethanol and biodiesel by undertaking a life-cycle analysis (LCA) to assess the greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental outcomes as a result of Western Australian biofuels use.
