HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF ENERGY USE IN AUSTRALIAN AQUACULTURE |
FRDC PROJECT NUMBER 2023-080 | Alternate energy solutions for aquaculture
We need your help!
The Project Team are gathering information about energy use across Australian aquaculture to find practical ways to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
This information will support the development of a Sectoral Energy Consumption Profile for each Australian aquaculture industry sector and the finalisation of draft Technical Readiness Assessments for each production stage/operational module.
What We Need From You?
Your input to a short survey against 27 questions covering:
· Your business size and operations
· How you use energy and how much
· Any green energy projects you've tried
· Your current energy tracking methods
Why This Matters?
· Help find cost-effective energy solutions for our industry
· Identify common challenges we all face
· Share successful approaches that are working
· Support industry-wide planning
· Inform recommendations for policy and regulatory reform
· Guide future investment opportunities
Who Should Complete This?
Members of:
· Australian Prawn Farmers Association
· Australian Southern Bluefin Tuna Industry Association
· Australian Barramundi Farmers Association
· Oysters Australia
· Aquaculture Council of Western Australia
· Australian Abalone Growers Association
· Salmon Tasmania
Important Notes
· This is about industry-wide patterns, not individual businesses
· Your data will be combined with others - individual responses stay private
· If you operate in multiple sectors, you can fill out separate surveys for each - if that's too much work, one survey for your whole operation is fine
Your input will help us target action and future investment on what energy solutions work best for Australian aquaculture and how to support your readiness to adopt these.
Responses to the survey are requested by 28 February 2025.
