BBIFMAC INC. introducing ENERGY EFFICIENCY GAINS FOR AUSTRALIAN IRRIGATORS Eleisha Burton

PROJECT OVERVIEW Aims to provide relevant customised information to irrigators that will – Improve energy efficiency – $ave money – Drive innovation & productivity “No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that’s the exciting part!” – Tiger Woods

Energy Efficiency Gains for Australian Irrigators 1 Farm Scale Benchmarking Exercise 2 Paddock or Pump Scale Assessments 3 Case Studies & Fact Sheets HOW WILL THIS BE ACHIEVED?

FARM SCALE BENCHMARKING Energy Efficiency Gains for Australian Irrigators 1

''It is very interesting to see how I sit in relation to other farmers. It would be interesting to drill down to different soil types and similar farm sizes or general location to compare myself to similar enterprises.“ "Being able to see the differences in real dollar values is really good." "I have already identified a potential saving of $1,800 a quarter just by changing tariffs for one pump. I am really surprised and now am interested to see what further savings can be made on all my other pumps." FEEDBACK FROM PARTICIPANTS

PADDOCK OR PUMP SCALE ASSESSMENTS Energy Efficiency Gains for Australian Irrigators 2

Recycle Pit 1. Setting 1 – partially closed  Flow = 47 L/s (~169,000L/h)  Cost $1.23/hour $7.25/ML 2. Setting 2 – fully opened  Flow = 51 L/s (~184,000L/h)  Cost $1.84/hour $10.00/ML  Based on tariff 66 (consumption cost only) PUMP ASSESSMENT – EXAMPLE 1

PUMP ASSESSMENT – EXAMPLE 2 Open Well System 1. Pump System 1  Energy Consumption = 7.7 kWh/ML/m head 2. Pump System 2  Energy Consumption = 4 kWh/ML/m head I.Reduce the amount of water applied  A typical irrigation was applying more than twice the amount of water required for the soil and crop uptake II.Use a different tariff  Potential saving of approx. $5,000/year across the whole farm

3 CASE STUDIES AND FACT SHEETS Energy Efficiency Gains for Australian Irrigators

Farm-scale benchmarking analysis of 220 farms More detailed pump or irrigation assessments (program can only cover the cost of 30) Fact sheets and case study reports Grower workshops Website hosting energy efficiency information, project details, progress reports and technical news Videos documenting the engagement process and mechanism of delivering information and case studies PROJECT OUTPUTS
