At a summit at Tailem Bend, Regional Development Australia has promised to build on our region’s strengths.
Food, energy and water will be key to the Murraylands’ future circular economy, the CEO of the local Regional Development Australia board says.
RDA Murraylands and Riverland plans to build on the region’s strengths in food manufacturing, renewable energy and water management to fuel a new project it is calling SoFEW.

Greenhill Energy has begun market sounding to raise about AUD 200m (USD 131m) to help finance the first two stages of its Riverbend Energy Hub in South Australia, Managing Director Nicholas Mumford told Infralogic.
“We are sounding the market for debt and equity and seeking the full amount for stages one and two,” he said in an interview.
The developer and manufacturer is looking for a “strategic partner” to invest an initial AUD 34m in equity to acquire about a 50% stake in the project to fund construction of a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant and two gasification units.
Greenhill expects the total cost will be an estimated AUD 425m once another stage is added, which will not be covered by this financing.

Greenhill Energy Progresses Work Program for Riverbend Energy Hub™ Connection to the National Electricity Market
Greenhill Energy has completed another key development milestone for Riverbend Energy Hub™ towards demonstrating more sustainable energy options by upcycling sustainable biomass and landfill waste into valuable clean hydrogen and green manufactured products such as urea.
In partnership with ElectraNet, Greenhill Energy has completed a Connection Feasibility Report which has determined the preferred option for transmission connection of Riverbend Energy Hub™ to the nearby ElecrtraNet owned 275kV transmission line close to Tailem Bend.
Greenhill Energy Executive Managing Director Nicholas Mumford said we are targeting the construction of Riverbend Energy Hub™ to commence late next year, and the first stage will see an integrated power plant that will be able to provide firm power into the National Electricity Market.
“We are targeting Riverbend Energy Hub™ to be Australia’s first fully integrated processing facility to convert sustainable biomass and landfill waste into high value products such as fertilisers and synthetic fuels, and into low-cost clean hydrogen for use in emission free power and transport”, said Nicholas.

If you can turn something valueless into something valuable, you’re on a winner, both financially and environmentally.
That’s what Greenhill Energy hopes to do at its proposed gas and fertiliser plant at Tailem Bend, and that vision got one step closer to reality this week.
The start-up has reached a deal with wood processing firm KSI Sawmills to take waste from a new sawmill at Monarto and use it as fuel for the Riverbend Energy Hub.
Greenhill Energy Media Release
Greenhill Energy and KSI Sawmills sign memorandum of understanding for Riverbend Energy Hub™
Greenhill Energy and KSI Sawmills have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to support both company’s commitment to sustainability and underpin supply of sustainable biomass at scale to Riverbend Energy Hub™.
Under the MOU, subject to regulatory approvals KSI Sawmills will supply Greenhill Energy’s Riverbend Energy Hub™ with timber residues from its proposed new sawmill site at Monarto, in South Australia’s Murraylands region. The sawmill is currently progressing through local government development approvals and subject to receiving these approvals, is expected to commence construction in 2024 and operations in 2025.
Timber for the sawmill will come from sustainably certified plantation grown sources, primarily throughout the Mt Lofty Ranges, with the timber residues from sawmill operations available for sustainable biomass supply in multiple tranches over time to match the planned development stages of Riverbend Energy Hub™.
Greenhill Energy Managing Director Nicholas Mumford said the proposed sawmill development would be a welcome nearby Murraylands regional partner in Greenhill Energy’s circular economy supply chain, importantly with the potential to supply certified renewable and sustainable biomass feedstock at scale.
“We’re looking forward to working with KSI Sawmills. As we progress the development of Riverbend Energy Hub™, we’re securing sustainable biomass sources to meet our targets to manufacture clean hydrogen, urea fertiliser and other high value products such as synthetic fuels,” said Nicholas.
