Sustainable
Feedstock
A nucleus farm and out-grower programs produce sustainable feedstock.
Biorefinery
The biorefinery converts sustainable feedstock into low-carbon renewable fuel and power.
Sales &
Distribution
Renewable fuel and power are distributed to regional customers.

Renewable Fuel Project Developers
Sunbird Bioenergy partners to develop renewable fuel projects that decarbonise industrial sectors, particularly Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
Our team and development partners, can design, construct and operate biorefineries that produce renewable fuel for industries including: Agriculture, Aviation, Cement, Maritime, Mining and Power.
A viable project comprises of:
Feedstock
Each project requires a source of sustainable feedstock for the biorefinery.
Sufficient land and/or an out-grower program to source sustainable feedstock for the project.
Typical feedstock includes:
-
Sugarcane
-
Cassava
-
Oilseeds
-
Agricultural waste
-
Solid municipal waste (MSW)
Renewable Fuel & Power
The biorefinery converts sustainable feedstock into renewable fuel and other by-products.
Typically, our biorefineries have an annual production capacity of approximately 100 million of renewable fuel (the equivalent of 7.9 million barrels of petroleum):
-
Bioethanol (anhydrous ethyl alcohol v/v 99.6%)
-
Biodiesel
Our renewable fuels reduce greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide) by up to 80%. They are blended with fossil fuel and retailed through conventional fuel pumps at retail refuelling stations in the following blending ratios:
-
Petrol (E5, E10, E20 or E85)
-
Diesel (B5, B20 or B100
Off-Take
Renewable fuel and power is sold to domestic customers and exported.
A clear route to market. Preferably with long-term domestic off-take agreements and/or export contracts.
Domestic Consumption:
-
Domestic fuel blending program
-
Clean-cooking program
-
Industrial customers
Export:
-
Access to commercial port
Future Fuels
The biorefinery will support the future transition to hydrogen and electrification.
Sunbird has a development roadmap to produce future renewable fuels, including:
-
Green hydrogen
-
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
-
Green ammonia
-
Methanol
For Developers
Sunbird Bioenergy partners with organisations and entrepreneurs to develop renewable fuel projects.
