The Victorian Bioenergy Network, supported by Cultivate Agribusiness, is holding a two-day forum, workshop and tour in Ararat on 11-12 September 2017. Source: Timberbiz
The aim of the forum is to provide local government businesses, community groups and others interested in reducing their energy costs and environmental impact, and learning more about how bioenergy benefits us all.
On the second day of the forum, participants will have the option of either a half day ‘hands-on’ workshop on using their own energy data to produce bioenergy options for their particular energy needs, or they may choose to go on a bus tour of local bioenergy sites.
The forum will be held at the Alexandra Oval Community Centre Ararat, Victoria.
