Assess and adapt existing Australian and international feedstocks and develop new feedstocks for bioenergy and bioproducts
Scope, compare and develop energy and cost efficient technologies, infrastructure and logistics for harvesting and processing biomass
Evaluate conversion technologies and select, research and develop those which are competitive for Australian circumstances
Develop bioproducts that complement bioenergy production systems
Identify sustainable transition pathways for bioenergy in the context of a range of alternative energy futures, given different climate change, economic and policy scenarios
Develop and implement an outreach program using existing and new networks to deliver the capacity of Australia’s rural industries to utilise the results of this program.
