Description: This dataset estimates the location and mass in dry tonnes at 0% MC and in tonnes at harvest 'As is' MC of sugarcane bagasse and trash residues across NSW, Australia. This information was first collated for the Australian Biomass for Bioenergy Assessment (ABBA) project and is available for use on the National Map platform, to service the renewable energy sector. This data is updated and maintained by NSW Department of Primary Industries - Forestry.
The boundary features were extracted from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS2016) digital boundaries [Copyright Commonwealth of Australia administered by the ABS]. This dataset is mapped at the Statistical Level 2 (SA2).
Each SA2 region shows the annual average tonnes of sugarcane bagasse and trash residues for the period July 2011 to June 2021 (average of 10 years). Each SA2 region also shows the combined total of these 2 residue types. This layer gives a quick reference summary of the 2 residue types, which have been individually mapped with more detail. The SA2 residues were derived using the 'parent' SA4 region residue totals (calculated using ABS ASGS Agricultural Commodities, Australia, cat. no. 7121.0 data cubes and from research carried out by the NSW Forest Science unit, Department of Primary Industries - Forestry) and by applying calculated percentages of crop production from the ABS 2015-16 SA2 agricultural survey data to determine the distribution of residues at this level. Please note the location of residues for the SA2 maps is based on the 2015-16 crop production distribution. Note, the sugarcane trash residue estimates currently do not take into account trash retention for environmental benefits such as weed management and soil health.
Note: Some SA2 regions were merged and the results were combined. Most commonly merged regions were built up areas contained wholly within the same regional area (i.e. Goulburn and Goulburn Region were merged). Some small regions along the coast were also merged with adjacent regions for clearer mapping.
