AUSTRALIA REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE 2014


Mark Glover

Renewed Carbon is a specialist project development company operating entirely in the Biomass Processing Sector.

As the wholesale use of fossil fuels/resources is discouraged, in our progressively more carbon constrained economy, the conversion of biomass into supplementary/replacement “drop in” products is progressing from an optional to an essential activity, and Renewed Carbon is in the vanguard of developing the actual drop in products, sponsoring the development of the necessary conversion technologies and then developing the actual projects (systems and infrastructure) to facilitate this vital industrial transformation.

Mark established Renewed Carbon in 2002 as a natural progression from the work of his specialist advisory and consultancy, Eco Waste Pty Ltd (www.ecowaste.com.au) which has been providing strategic advice on sustainable resource use issues for 25 years.

Form 1994 to 2004, Mark initiated, delivered and commissioned Australia’s most advanced used oil (lubricants) re-refinery (Southern Oils, Wagga Wagga) as a project that started from first principles and was eventually established as a hi-tech, best of type project in regional NSW.

Regional Australia is again the focus of Renewed Carbon’s current “BioHub” initiative; a project to establish some 200 biomass receiving and processing facilities throughout Australia, to be to the emerging Biomass Processing Sector what railhead silos are to the cropping sector or scrap yards are to the metals recycling industry: both first-points-of-receival and receivers-of-last-resort for any biomass arisings (see www.renewedcarbon.com.au).
