About this website

Biomass Producer is the place to start your search for information about bioenergy as it relates to primary industries in Australia – in particular, information about the types of biomass that can be used to create bioenergy.It is designed for:

• primary producers and their advisors
• regional economic developers
• policymakers.

Most of the content on this website lives on other websites – we bring it all together in a way that makes it easier for you to find information that is useful, credible and relevant to you. The website is not about being an advocate for bioenergy – it is about providing credible information. It aims to inform decision-making, identify opportunities for primary producers, and give credible knowledge to develop sound policies.

AgriFutures Australia developed the website and manages the content as part of the national bioenergy research, development and extension strategy for the primary industries sector. The strategy was developed by AgriFutures Australia and its partners in the National Primary Industries Research, Development and Extension Framework. Framework partners include:

• the bioenergy industry
• federal and state governments
• relevant rural R&D corporations
• CSIRO
• universities.

The aim of the framework is greater coordination among these sectors to better harmonise their primary industry RD&E roles and assure that they work together effectively to maximise net benefits to Australia—especially improving the productivity and competitiveness of the primary industries, and making the best use of Australia’s natural resources under a changing climate.  

We make sure that we link only to information that is relevant and credible. All links are reviewed and approved by a panel comprising the contacts below:
