This AgriFutures Australia short report introduces the ‘Alternative energy opportunities for rural industries’ project. It provides an overview of what alternative energy is and how it is different to and can replace conventional energy options presently used, and why rural industries need to understand alternative energy and whether it is a suitable option for the future.
This short report is one of a series on alternative energy opportunities for rural industries. Later short reports will provide more information on alternative energy, case studies of where it is already used by rural industries across Australia, and information about how affordable it can be to adopt.
