South Australia’s southeast has been identified as a “hotspot” for a cleaner, greener bio-energy industry, the state government says.

“Electricity, transportation fuels, chemicals and materials currently produced from petroleum and natural gas could be produced from these biomass resources,” Mr Koutsantonis said.
