October 2026 | Project update

Bioenergy Hub Opportunity

Isis Central Sugar Mill is investigating the potential for a Bioenergy Hub that could support the Mill's long-term sustainability and create new opportunities for the region. The work considers how existing mill infrastructure, sugarcane by-products and other agricultural resources might support renewable energy and low-carbon fuels.

Progress to date

  • ICSM has acquired the Mill's co-generation station.
  • Mill efficiency studies are underway.
  • Licella has completed the Pre-FEED phase of Project Swift.
  • LMS Energy's bioenergy assessment is underway.

Licella - Project Swift

Licella and ICSM are assessing a proposed biorefinery at the Mill to convert biomass residues into low-carbon liquid fuels, including renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. Project Swift has completed preliminary front-end engineering work (Pre-FEED); further engineering and feasibility assessment is proposed before any investment decision.

LMS Energy - Bioenergy Project

ICSM and LMS Energy are investigating a potential facility to convert sugar-industry by-products and other locally available organic residues into biogas and biomethane. The concept also includes the potential production of biofertiliser.
