Benefits of better preparation
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016) Kent, G
Most Australian factories are not achieving the cane preparation benchmark of 90% pol in open cells. While preparation is strongly linked to power consumption, in many cases the problem is not that there is insufficient power available but that insufficient power is being consumed.
Adding value to ash
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016) Pfeffer, B
A newly completed project conducted by Southern Cross University (SCU) and Australian Bio Refining has provided information that could help sugar mills redefine some of their 'waste' products as a valuable resource.
Research looks at cane cleaning options that could reduce the need for cane fires in NSW
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
New research is hoping to provide innovative solutions that could greatly reduce the need for sugarcane burning in NSW, which is still commonly needed immediately before harvest in this region of the sugarcane industry.
Biorefineries to create a profitable future for agriculture in Australia
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Sugar millers and growers are expected to benefit from a new research project as part of the Rural Research and Development for Profit Programme.
Sugar Research Australia Webinars
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
The SRA Milling Webinar series provides milling staff with the opportunity to learn more about milling research topics, as well as discuss the information being presented, and provide input and feedback.
$75M green power station for Tableland Mill near Mareeba, QLD
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
MSF Sugar has announced that a $75M green power station will be built at its Tableland Sugar Mill. The power station will use bagasse to produce 24 megawatts of electricity - enough to power every house in the Tableland region.
Biorefineries for profit : harnessing the potential from sugarcane biorefineries
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
The new Biorefineries for Profit project is looking further than just research into value-add products from farm by-products, and is also researching the next steps of seeing innovation translated into real-world commercial outcomes.
Mill stats show the results of solid 2015 harvest
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
An analysis of mill data from the 2015 harvest has shown the strong yields achieved in 2015 and an overall crop of 34.83 million tonne.
Mill data analysis identifies key productivity drivers
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
The project demonstrated the yield benefits for growers who regularly obtained clean seed. A research project is using mill data to help inform and improve on-farm productivity, delivering benefit along the value chain for both growers and millers.
Pilot project looks at billet deterioration
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
A small-scale career-development project has investigated the use of hormones in relation to deterioration of sugarcane billets after harvest.
Updated traits to maximise profitability along the value chain
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
An extensive consultation process involving an industry reference group has helped determine a new approach for selecting sugarcane varieties as part of the Sugar Research Australia (SRA) plant breeding program.
New milling research investment kicks off
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Three new milling-related research project have begun in 2016, as part of the most recent round of investment announced by Sugar Research Australia earlier this year.
Research looks to improve shelf-life of bagasse stockpiles
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
A recently completed project has looked closely at what is happening inside bagasse stockpiles in order to provide information that would allow millers to more efficiently and sustainably store this important resource.
Building a bio-based industry upon the foundation of the cane industry
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016) Dunn, K
Second generation biofuels using lignocellulosic biomass such as bagasse as the renewable feedstock have the potential to produce fuels on a large enough scale to meet a significant fraction of national demand while avoiding the use of feedstocks which compete with food production.
