Greenhouse gas emissions from one of Australia's largest coal-fired power stations will be used to produce biofuels as its owner tries to reduce its carbon bill.

The agreement, with NSW government-owned power company Macquarie Generation, means waste carbon dioxide from the power station fed into an algae growth system will then be used to produce biodiesel and jet fuel.
