Domestic production of ethanol to provide a 10% blend in petrol (E10) can be achieved from waste methane gas that Australia currently vents or flares to atmosphere. This project aims to develop a conversion process for making ethanol from syngas (the product of coal or methane gasification). Small scale, modularised plants would make ethanol locally to the methane emission source. The benefits of local E10 production would be a reduction in the oil trade deficit of $1 billion per year, $500 million per year in lower carbon imposts to industry and government, 25 million tonnes per year of reduced CO2e release to atmosphere and significantly improved urban air through reduced emissions from car transport, with attendant human health benefits.

国内生产乙醇以提供10%的汽油混合物(E10)可以从澳大利亚目前向大气排放或燃烧的废气甲烷中实现。该项目旨在开发一种从合成气(煤或甲烷气化的产物)中生产乙醇的转化工艺。小规模、模块化的工厂将在当地生产乙醇，以产生甲烷排放源。当地生产E10的好处将是每年减少10亿美元的石油贸易逆差，每年向工业和政府低碳排放5亿美元，每年减少向大气排放2500万吨二氧化碳，并通过减少汽车运输的排放显著改善城市空气，从而对人类健康产生好处。
