Sustainable Energy Technologies

There are a number of different sustainable energy technologies being developed by Verve Energy and other companies in Australia. Verve Energy has expertise in wind, solar and bio-mass technologies. Hydro energy is also utilised in WA and wave power is currently under development in Australia.

Bio Energy

Bioenergy comes from biomass, which is a general term for the material remains of once living organisms. Bioenergy is the conversion of the chemical energy stored in biomass to an industrially useful form (i.e. heat or electricity).
