Banana Waste to Produce Fuel in Australia
Growcom, an Australian horticulture/biofuel organization, has started the pre-construction process of a commercial biomethane plant. The plant will produce biomethane from banana waste to provide fuel to vehicles that run on natural gas.
The process consists in the use of an anaerobic digester to break down the banana’s microorganisms, much like the ones used at landfills to reduce methane emissions. The two-week process is said to produce large quantities of methane – efficiency will depend on new digester technology to reduce the cost in order to produce mass quantities of methane.

FLASHPOINT
Alert the enviromentalists!! Banana prices the world over will skyrocket and monkees everywhere will starve. I'm sure someone will find other excuses why this will NEVER work...
Russ Bellinis
Flashpoint, I don't think you read the report. They are not using bananas, they are using bana waste, unless you consider the banana peel to be food.
FLASHPOINT
Yeah, but you get banana waste from BANANAS. Today it's the skin, tomorrow it's the whole banana...
And where are they going to site these plants? What about the poor kangaroos?
Russ Bellinis
As far as I know bananas don't grow anywhere in Australia. I would imagine they are imported from some of the island nations to the north of Australia. It shouldn't have any effect on Australia other than providing a new way to dispose of banana peels.

Russ;
Where are you from? It's certainly not Australia.
Bananas are grown in many places in Australia, I've driven past plantations in my car near Coffs Harbour.
Australia has many environments, including tropical and subtropical.

First they came for the bananas,
And I didn't speak up because I was not a banana.
