Share your views to inform the development of the National Bioenergy Feedstock Strategy.
Bioenergy will be an important part of Australia’s net zero transition.
This opens-up new economic opportunities for Australia’s agriculture and forestry industries to supply the feedstocks needed to produce bioenergy.
The Australian Government has committed to exploring how we can grow a strong bioenergy feedstock industry.
The National Bioenergy Feedstock Strategy (strategy) will guide a coordinated approach to developing the feedstock industry. It aims to maximise opportunities for agriculture and forestry, while ensuring bioenergy feedstock production continues to complement food and fibre production.
The strategy is being developed alongside the Feeding Australia: A National Food Security Strategy, to ensure both strategies work together.
Discussion paper
The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has prepared a discussion paper to seek your views and help inform the development of the strategy. The paper provides a high-level overview of Australian feedstocks and explores a range of issues for further consideration.
