Queensland government invests $56.4M in Kalfresh’s biogas project
Led by major vegetable grower Kalfresh and backed by A$80 million in investment from the Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC) and Wollemi Capital, the project is set to transform agricultural waste into energy sources and sustainable fertilizers, delivering far-reaching benefits to Queensland families, farmers and businesses.
The precinct will include a biogas anaerobic digestion facility, which will convert agricultural and food waste into enough energy to power up to 31,000 homes or fuel up to 98 million kilometres of transport a year, while also producing natural bio-fertilisers to reduce reliance on imported synthetic alternatives and support local agriculture.
The Scenic Rim Agricultural Industrial Precinct will also deliver over 1,000 jobs, including 641 during construction and 475 ongoing operational roles.
