Project number: 2024-1003 (B)
The project Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Red Meat Industry Wastes was undertaken under RACE for 2030’s Theme “T2 – Decarbonising Businesses and Supply Chains” to evaluate the potential of anaerobic co-digestion (ACoD) as a decarbonisation and bioenergy production pathway for Australia's red meat sector. The study combined experimental research, techno-economic modelling, and impact assessments to optimise and assess the commercial and environmental benefits of ACoD compared to mono-digestion of red meat by-products.
