This AgriFutures Australia short report introduces a selection of technologies not already discussed in previous reports as part of the ‘Alternative energy opportunities for rural industries’ series. Some of these technologies can generate or produce energy, recover waste heat, and/or store energy that supports a transition to alternative energy.
Previous reports have investigated solar PV, battery storage, biofuels, wind power and hydrogen energy. However, there are others that could be immediately useful or of future interest to Australian rural producers and farmers.
