One network. 200MLpa. Each site making the next one stronger

Facilities are standardised enough to be managed as a fleet. A single operations team monitors all sites from a central control centre, with standardised maintenance programmes, shared spare parts and catalyst inventories, and common safety management systems.

– Shared SCADA and remote monitoring — one control room, not four

– Pooled spare parts and catalyst inventory — lower working capital per site

– Template financing structures — each de-risked site improves portfolio credit quality

– Group offtake arrangements — larger aggregated volume strengthens commercial position

The reference design established at Esperance is 80% replicable at every subsequent site. Engineering costs fall with repeat vendor engagements. Commissioning timelines compress. Contingency tails shrink. Each new site recycles equity faster into the next.

– Same P&IDs, same safety cases — shorter learning curve each time

– EPC cost reductions through repeat vendor relationships and pre-agreed scope

– Faster time to first revenue — proven design compresses permitting and construction

– Option value on future feedstocks — each site is a platform for canola, hemp, carinata as they mature

 Each facility is designed to return value to the farms that supply it — in forms that improve productivity and reduce costs. Canola meal, digestate, and biochar are designed outputs, not by-products.

The Australis model is structurally different from conventional industrial facilities. What the facility takes from local farms returns to them in forms that reduce fertiliser costs, improve soil health, and open new income streams. This circularity is built into the process design — not listed in a sustainability report.

"The facility takes canola and straw. It gives back renewable diesel, SAF, meal, digestate, and biochar. The region ends up with more than it started with."

Canola meal goes to local livestock producers. Digestate returns nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to local farms under formal MOU, reducing synthetic fertiliser imports. Biochar improves water retention in the low-rainfall Esperance region and enables farmer access to emerging soil carbon markets.
