Conservation groups have a plan to turn our greenhouse gases into clean power.
The Productivity Commission released a report on what we need to do to reach the goal of a low emissions economy.
An option which came up is using our food and agricultural waste on a wide scale across the country.

"Using our waste more effectively. Methane is a waste and we can burn that and we can create electricity out of that."
