Abstract
Bioenergy is a source of sustainable energy. On the world stage biomass provides 10.6% of global primary energy supplies. There are several drivers for its development in Australia. The paper discusses the bioenergy technologies of combustion (including co-firing), gasification, pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion, noting some key projects that have been developed under each category. Australia's Mandatory Renewable Energy Target and its requirements have stimulated renewable energy, and notably bioenergy projects. The status and development of liquid biofuels are also covered. The paper also discusses bioenergy supporting activities, such as the development of a national bioenergy atlas, participation in the International Energy Agency's Bioenergy program, a major biomass energy production report and the function and operation of Bioenergy Australia.
