This project aims to address two major problems simultaneously-reducing the burden of non-recyclable waste currently going to landfill in Australia, and offsetting Australia’s reliance on imported diesel to support industry and transport needs. While approximately 95% of diesel consumed in Australia is imported, vast quantities of carbon-based waste ends up in landfill. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a mixture of plant-based waste (including food, garden, paper, and wood) and fossil-fuel derived materials (plastics). Using an innovative and environmentally-sustainable catalytic process, the outcomes of this project are aimed alleviating Australia’s dependence on diesel fuel imports and better waste management solutions in Australia.

该项目旨在同时解决两个主要问题：减少澳大利亚目前填埋的不可回收废物的负担，以及抵消澳大利亚对进口柴油的依赖，以支持工业和运输需求。虽然澳大利亚大约95%的柴油消费是进口的，但大量的碳基废物最终被填埋。城市固体废物（MSW）是植物性废物（包括食物、花园、纸张和木材）和化石燃料衍生材料（塑料）的混合物。采用创新和环境可持续的催化过程，该项目的成果旨在减轻澳大利亚对柴油进口的依赖，并在澳大利亚提供更好的废物管理解决方案。
