Bioenergy Australia 2009
From Opportunity to Implementation
LogoBA (New) Jul 02
Australia’s premier bioenergy conference, Bioenergy Australia 2009 will be
held at the Radisson Resort Gold Coast, Queensland from 9 - 10 December 2009
with a Technical Tour on 8 December 2009.
This year’s program will have over 85 presentations covering policies and
programs, bioenergy projects and project development case studies and
emerging opportunities. It will also consider many facets of bioenergy,
including:
· Biomass sources and supply aspects
· Algae and other future feedstocks
· Heat and power
· Energy-from-waste
· Anaerobic digestion and livestock wastes
· Gasification
· Pyrolysis bio-oil and sequestration via bio-char
· First and second generation liquid biofuels
· Overarching aspects of bioenergy, such as life cycle emissions and
sustainability.
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 include substantial
coverage of microalgae and will 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.
Our keynote speakers are Dr Göran Berndes, Department of Energy and
Environment, Chalmers University, Sweden and Task Leader of IEA Bioenergy
Task 30 Short Rotation Crops for Bioenergy and Professor Michael Borowitzka,
Algae R&D Centre, Murdoch University, Western Australia. Well known
bioenergy figure, Professor Ralph Sims who has been working at the IEA in
Paris will be the dinner speaker.
The conference will bring together biomass feedstock producers and
suppliers, waste management organisations, project developers, energy
companies, equipment suppliers, investors, government agencies, research and
research funding bodies to address factors crucial to the development of
bioenergy in Australia. Last year our conference was attended by over 320
delegates, and we anticipate a good turnout again this year. The optional
technical tour preceding the conference will visit five bioenergy facilities
in the region.
