Installation of biogas capture systems to reduce methane emissions is one of the most cost-effective ways to realise immediate environmental benefits while also providing the opportunity for secondary income streams or cost reductions and improved waste management. Provision of biogas flaring systems in Australian agriculture is considered to be more costly than it is in other comparable countries due, in part at least, to the requirements of meeting the current Australian environmental standards and Australian manufacturing costs. This report examines the environmental and safety regulatory requirements covering the supply and use of flares in Australia and compares them with overseas requirements. It presents information on the costs of flares made in Australia and those from overseas. The report identifies impediments that influence the cost of flaring systems for agricultural industries and makes recommendations on addressing these impediments.
The research will benefit producers in Australia's intensive livestock industries by providing a clearer understanding of the regulations for biogas flares, in order to clarify expectations and avoid undue delays and costs in the development stages of projects. For the agricultural industry as a whole it will facilitate the uptake of biogas projects, which in turn will provide environmental benefits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Methane to Markets Partnership was launched in 2004 and currently there are 20 members, including Australia.
The Partners made formal declarations to minimise methane emissions from key sources, stressing the importance of implementing methane capture and use projects in developing countries with economies in transition. The Methane to Markets in Australian Agriculture Program is a collaborative research and development program (combining Government, research and industry partners); the purpose of which is to identify and respond to the issues important for the mitigation of methane emissions from the wastes of intensive livestock production. Through the Methane to Markets in Australian Agriculture Program, and as part of the international Methane to Market partnership, Australia's intensive livestock industries (pigs, beef feedlots and dairy) have capacity to improve their ability to capture and use methane emissions from animal wastes. Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC) manages the Methane to Markets in Australian Agriculture Program under the supervision of a Program Steering Committee. This project was funded under the RIRDC’s “Methane to Markets in Australian Agriculture” Program, a program that is funded by the Australian Government through the Natural Heritage Trust and National Landcare Program, and four R&D Corporations – RIRDC, Australian Pork Limited, Meat and Livestock Australia, and Dairy Australia. This report, an addition to RIRDC’s diverse range of over 1800 research publications, forms part of our Methane to Markets in Australian Agriculture R&D program, which aims to develop/adapt methane capture and use technology for application in the Australian intensive animal industries.
