Notes
Tatura Biomass is identified in AEMO and Victorian government material as a Diamond Energy biogas/biomass generator at Tatura with 1.1 MW capacity and commissioning around 2007. No project-specific greenfield capex announcement was found, so no reported capex is populated. The available AEMO biomass/biogas technology review is used only to support technology context, not plant-specific capex.
