Carbon Capture

With the introduction of a price on carbon, it is important for enterprises and communities in regional Australia to consider how they can structure their activities to take advantage of the carbon price regime.

Duckweed is very effective in capturing carbon from the atmosphere.

Under typical conditions, duckweed can capture 50 tonnes of carbon per hectare per annum.

With carbon initially priced at $23 per tonne, even a medium-sized BTWM installation will yield measurable benefits in terms of carbon offsets. This potential income is in addition to the underlying economic benefits of the system itself.

Water: A Scarce Resource

In a time of worsening scarcity, water requires astute management. This includes reusing water wherever possible.

BTWM's technology utilises nature's own water treatment plant — duckweed — to clean wastewater, allowing the treated water to serve as a resource for farms, enterprises and communities.
