Our Biomass Feedstock
Sustainably sourced biomass fuel powering Australia's clean energy future.
Our Approach
Responsible Sourcing Principles
Waste-Derived Fuel
Our biomass feedstock is sourced exclusively from agricultural and forestry residues — material that would otherwise be burned or left to decompose, releasing carbon regardless.
Local Sourcing
Where possible, feedstock is sourced locally to minimise transport emissions and support regional Australian economies and landholders.
Carbon Lifecycle
The carbon released during biomass combustion is part of the natural short-cycle — unlike fossil fuels, it was recently absorbed from the atmosphere and is returned within the same cycle.

What Goes Into Redbank
Redbank is designed to be fuelled by biomass waste streams, including agricultural residues and timber byproducts, sourced in accordance with responsible land use principles.
Agricultural residues (straw, husks, bagasse)
Forestry and sawmill residues
Dedicated energy crops grown on marginal land
Timber processing byproducts
Carbon Lifecycle
Short-cycle carbon, not fossil carbon
Unlike coal or gas, the CO₂ released from biomass combustion was absorbed from the atmosphere within the last growing cycle — not millions of years ago. This short-cycle carbon pathway is why sustainably sourced biomass is recognised internationally as a renewable, low-carbon fuel source.
