Think of the BioCube as a community’s own green fuel station – just put in fruit at one end and out comes biodiesel at the other end. It even runs on its own biodiesel and the waste product from the processing unit can be used as either animal feed or a slow release fertiliser. What’s more, emissions from the BioCube engine are Euro4 compliant. Carbon emissions are reduced up to 70 per cent, greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90 per cent, with sulphur emissions, zero.

Home owners will soon have access to a low interest or interest free ‘Green Loan’ to improve energy and water efficiency of their homes. 200,000 families will be eligible for up to $10,000 for installation of solar, water and energy efficient products.
