Pressurised CO2 technology (Farther Farms) and its ability to reduce reliance on a chilled Supply chain literature review

This project funds a literature review of Farther Farms, Inc and its pressurised CO2 technology that claims to support the storage and distribution of fresh foods without needing refrigeration. If proven, this technology has the benefit to add value across multiple channels and markets in Australia and globally, responding to the growth in online food delivery, meal kit programs and the importance of reducing food waste.

Updated Marginal Abatement Cost Curve

Marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves are a commonly used policy tool that indicate the potential for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission abatement and associated costs. This project's objective is to provide a robust decision-making framework through an updated MAC to inform scaled adoption of GHG emissions reduction solutions on dairy farms.

Environmental risk assessment and life cycle assessment of raw sugar manufacturing

Life cycle assessment (LCA) measures the environmental impacts in all stages of a product's life, from raw material through processing, manufacture, distribution and use. This project will design a new LCA to reflect the impact of the raw sugar value chain, to identify opportunities for improvement and ensure the industry's social licence to operate.
