Plane Creek Mill and Bioethanol Sarina

Plane Creek Mill, located in Sarina, Queensland, is a historic sugar mill established in 1896. Operated by Wilmar Sugar Australia, it produces approximately 60 million litres of bioethanol annually, primarily from molasses—a by-product of sugar manufacturing. This bioethanol is utilized in E10 and E85 fuel blends, contributing to Australia's renewable energy initiatives. The mill's proximity to the Sarina Sugar Shed allows visitors to observe its operations from across the railway line during the crushing season, offering a unique glimpse into the sugar production process.
