Australia’s premier bioenergy conference, Bioenergy Australia 2008, will be held at the Sebel Albert Park, Melbourne, Victoria on 8-9 December, with a technical tour on 10 December.
The program will cover policies and programs, projects and project development case studies and emerging opportunities.
The conference will consider many facets of bioenergy, including some 60 presentations on:
Biomass sources and supply aspects
First and second generation liquid biofuels
Algae and other future feedstocks
Pyrolysis bio-oil and bio-char
Anaerobic digestion and livestock wastes

Overarching aspects of bioenergy, such as life cycle emissions and sustainability.
