The Victorian Bioenergy Network and Agribusiness Gippsland, with support from Regional Development Australia, Sustainability Victoria, Latrobe City Council and Wellington Shire, is organising a 2-day bioenergy event. Source: Timberbiz
The event will focus on bioenergy projects and developments happening within, or relevant to, the Gippsland region.
This event will be of particular interest to local government authorities, regional businesses and facility managers and community organizations. However, anyone interested in looking to reduce energy costs, utilise waste streams or explore options for developing renewable energy alternatives to LPG and briquettes will find the forum useful.
The forum will be held in Heyfield and will involve plenty of dynamic presentations from bioenergy enthusiasts on topics ranging from developing small-scale bioenergy projects, to funding and undertaking feasibility studies, through to implementation.
During the event a number of bioenergy installations in Latrobe and Wellington Shires will be visited, including biogas power generation and woody biomass thermal bioenergy facilities in Morwell, Maryvale and Yarragon.
The program is still being developed and further details will be available soon but at this stage the program will be a forum on day one with an evening dinner and then the tour on day two.
Speakers will include:
- John Sanderson – Earth Systems
- Frank Mc Shane – East Gippsland Water
- Sohum Gandhi – Energence
- David Coote – PhD candidate
- Ian Guss – Biofuels Consultant
The forum will cost $150 including lunch, morning and afternoon tea. The dinner is $70 for a three course meal, with the tour an additional $80 with lunch, morning and afternoon tea.
