Australia's Bioenergy Roadmap Report

Australia’s Bioenergy Roadmap (referred to as the Bioenergy Roadmap or this Roadmap) has been developed following extensive consultation to enhance the growth of Australia’s bioenergy sector and identify bioenergy’s role in Australia’s future energy mix. It is designed to help inform future policy and investment decisions.

It sets out a vision for a sustainable bioenergy industry that delivers lower emissions, regional growth, energy resilience and waste management benefits for Australia.

Given the extent of bioenergy’s potential, this Bioenergy Roadmap presents a framework from now until 2030 to:

• Showcase where bioenergy has a comparative advantage and where it can complement other low emissions alternative technologies
• Identify current barriers to the development of the bioenergy sector
• Provide findings for industry and government to drive commercial outcomes
• Highlight opportunities to inform and empower the broader community.

International experience shows that the key to growing a bioenergy industry involves strong partnerships across both the public and private sectors. This Roadmap helps identify opportunities for collaboration and outlines the steps that industry can take to build its capabilities and to develop innovative projects and business models.
