UniSQ pilots duckweed and dairy effluent for renewable biofuel feedstock 

In Australia (Queensland), the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) has launched a government‑backed pilot to convert dairy effluent and duckweed into scalable biomass feedstock. Funded by nearly AU $200,000 under the Ignite program, the initiative targets rapid-growing duckweed enriched by dairy nutrients as a low-cost input source for biodiesel and renewable diesel. The pilot, beginning in June 2025, aims to address feedstock scarcity through non-food, waste-derived biomass and support more sustainable biofuel value chains. — Source: UniSQ newsroom press release (unisq.edu.au) enerkem.com
