Feasibility studies to assess the economic viability of producing hydrogen from bagasse and biodegradable bioplastics from sugarcane juice
Tender ID: 453901
Tender Details
Tender Description
This invitation for Expressions of Interest seeks responses that will help SRA to assess two sugarcane diversification opportunities:
(i) producing hydrogen from sugarcane bagasse
(ii) producing compostable bioplastics such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) from sugarcane juice, to add value to the Australian sugar industry.
The study will assist with understanding a path to market for the technologies, considering the strengths and constraints of the entire sugar industry supply chain, and providing advice to SRA on the technical and economic feasibility/readiness and intellectual property ownership of the technologies available. The study will cover aspects of production, technology, economics, logistics, IP and industry attitude for each of these opportunities, and with respect to bioplastics, the production of PHA from cane juice will be compared to alternative sugarcane-derived bioplastics.
