Providing a genuine #carbon emissions strategy for our customers.
2040 Net-Zero Commitment
JBS Foods have committed to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 throughout their global operations in partnership with producers, suppliers and customers.
To assist in achieving this critical goal, JBS Australia has partnered with Energy360 on some projects to build a turnkey solution.
Energy360 are building a bioenergy system for JBS Australia, the country’s largest protein and food processing company, which will capture emissions from wastewater treatment and create a renewable gas system for their Beef City, QLD and Scone, NSW sites.
This involves replacing natural gas as its process heat source with renewable gas, capturing in site wastewater emissions.
JBS Australia’s red meat processing sites have naturally occurring renewable gas (biogas). Energy360 will be providing custom designed bioenergy systems and installing covers on the in-situ wastewater treatment lagoons to capture the renewable gas generated and using it for process heat.
This renewable gas will displace natural gas and provide both sites with significant natural gas cost savings and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) abatement, which will assist in JBS Australia achieving its Net Zero goal.
Both projects will eliminate over 60,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually whilst saving on over $2 million of natural gas usage.
In addition to the renewable gas produced, Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) will also be generated by these projects.
The Bioenergy Systems will also help future proof the company against volatile natural gas price rises for the next 10 years and will deliver on the GHG savings demanded by the market, generating more than 100TJ of renewable gas annually.
Energy 360 – Biogas by AGL are leaders in the design, manufacture and operation of bioenergy systems that generate energy from organic waste streams. We provide the gas handling systems and can provide civil engineering support and EPC wrap. For businesses such as food processors with a nutrient rich waste-water stream, a biogas system can turn waste into profit.
Waste into Profit
Waste streams can have a high biological load and are often costly to dispose of. A bioenergy system will reduce the biological load in the waste stream, generate biogas and provide renewable energy. The renewable energy will substantially offset natural gas or electrical requirements.
COST BENEFITS OF A BIOENERGY SYSTEM
- Produce your own power – renewable electricity or gas
- Food and agricultural waste a part of the circular economy
- Organic (non-synthetic) fertiliser will enhance soil carbon capture
- No phosphate run off from fertiliser which reduces blue-green algae
- Naturally derived carbon dioxide for industry use
- Prevents carbon dioxide emissions
Australian renewable gas – Stimulate the economy – NEXT STEPS
If you have:
- Dairy, piggery, feedlot or poultry manure
- Horticultural waste
- Food processing and source segregated food waste, and would like to discuss how a bioenergy system can “power up your waste” we’d love to hear from you.
