Deniliquin could be home to a multi-million dollar ethanol plant by as early as 2015, Pastoral Times reports.

An application to build the AUD 90 million Deniliquin plant, which would use locally sourced grains to produce fuel and other by-products, has been lodged with the NSW Government Planning Department. Korean company Dongmun Greentec, an Australian branch of Dongmun IRS Co Ltd, has earmarked a 147.18ha industrial block. Dongmun Greentec president said construction would begin by May or June next year. The proposed plant will be large enough to produce 110,000 kilolitres of ethanol each year and up to 92,000 tonne of dried distilled grain. (09 December 2013)

The Australian Government will deliver a new framework for national energy and resources policy that is clear, consistent and stable.

Minister for Industry Ian Macfarlane has released terms of reference for the Australian Government's Energy White Paper that will drive economy-wide reforms of Australia's energy sector.

"The Government has made a new Energy White Paper a priority because it will set out a cohesive policy to secure our long-term domestic energy needs, maintain international competitiveness and grow our export base," Mr Macfarlane said.

Australia would be capable of supporting its own aviation biofuel industry, provided significant obstacles were removed, according to the results of study released by Qantas and Shell today.
