Aquaflow chair Barrie Leay says wild micro algae, wood waste, bagasse and other green municipal waste can now all be converted to the next generation of biofuels, including bio-gasoline, bio-diesel and jet fuel. The first site has been identified on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, while others are being researched for suitability.
