Farmers in South Australia could soon be producing biofuels on their properties to use in their machinery.
Environment engineer Stephen Bedford Clark is setting up an algae-to-biofuel processing plant at Darke Peak on Eyre Peninsula in a bid to bring down costs of fuel for the agricultural industry.
He says farmers will be able to do something similar on a smaller scale.
"One of the things that we are looking at is actually looking at farmers and saying 'Well, you've got some saline damaged land there'," he said.
"We can educate and train in terms of how we can actually produce that on the site and then we will bring some mobile processing equipment along, process that out and then sell it back to the farmers and everyone's a winner."
