Bioenergy Australia 2009 – From Opportunity to Implementation December 8-10 Queensland, Australia
Established in 1997 as a government-industry forum to foster and facilitate the development of biomass for energy, liquid fuels, and other value added bio-based products. Bioenergy Australia is concerned with all aspects of biomass and bioenergy, from production through to utilisation, and its work embraces technical, commercial, economic, societal, environmental, policy and market issues.
A preceding optional technical tour to biomass and bioenergy facilities is planned as part of the conference. This tour on 8 December 2009 is planned to visit the 30 MWe Rocky Point sugar mill cogeneration power plant, two different anaerobic digester plants – one using ultrasonics to stimulate gas production, the other using a floating cover at a piggery, a bioreactor facility producing biogas for electricity generation, a Pongamia (tree legume for biomass oil) research plot and a small scale gasification test rig. The conference program will have over 90 presentations, covering policies and programs, bioenergy projects and project development case studies, and will cover biomass feedstocks and supply aspects, biomass heat and power, pyrolysis, gasification, first and second generation liquid biofuels, algae for biofuels, carbon sequestration via biochar, anaerobic digestion and livestock wastes, energy from waste, plus overarching aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions and life cycle analyses of bioenergy systems.
This year’s conference will also include sessions provided by international speakers from the International Energy Agency’s Bioenergy program’s Task on Short Rotation Crops for Bioenergy. The program will also include an extended panel discussion, entitled “Bioenergy: From Opportunity to Implementation” to build on the conference presentations. There will be a poster session and a trade exhibition. READ MORE
