Welcome to Biomax:

Smorgon Fuels, a Victor Smorgon Group business , that produces BioMax Biodiesel. The Victor Smorgon Group was founded in the late 90’s by Victor and his grandson Peter Edwards following the sale of Smorgon Consolidated Industries, which had a rich history in manufacturing and recycling in Australia, emerging to become the largest private manufacturing business in Australia.

Our objective is to economically provide clean sustainable energy through innovative methods and strong partnerships with complementary organizations.

Smorgon Fuels, aims to help create a cleaner environment by investing in biotechnology which provides sustainable value back to Australian communities and shareholders with practical solutions to clean energy challenges. Our business is divided into three distinct and complementary units:

Biodiesel
Smorgon Fuels own and operate a 100 million litre biodiesel plant at Laverton North, Victoria Australia. The biodiesel area of this website provides detailed information on our quality-focused processes and demonstrates our determination to continually seek improvements to production and customer service while adding value to our community and the environment.

Waste Cooking Oil Collection
The second unit is our used cooking oil collection business. Our fleet of collection vehicles and hundreds of collection locations provide a valuable service to fast food outlets, restaurants and industrial cooking enterprises. The oil is cleaned and recycled as fuel at our biodiesel plant.

Fuel from Algae
Our third business unit involves conversion of carbon emissions into biofuels through industrial biosequestration.  This process converts waste carbon dioxide into valuable bio-products through the photosynthesis of microalgae. This has beneficial outcomes for greenhouse gas abatement and creates renewable fuel and animal feedstock products. 

The Smorgon Fuels approach combines complementary resources and the capabilities of several companies dedicated to environmental stewardship and energy independence.
