Queensland Bioenergy Fund

Energy from biomass and organic waste has played an important role in Queensland’s energy supply for many decades. Using bioenergy to supplement a diverse energy mix will help deliver the clean, reliable and affordable energy system needed to meet our renewable-energy targets. It will also enable new industry growth, particularly in regional areas.

The Bioenergy Fund is investing $4 million to work with industry to:

• investigate options and pathways to expand bioenergy generation from underutilised biomass waste streams
• support technology innovation.

Priority areas for the Bioenergy Fund:

• advancing biomass-to-electricity conversion technologies
• enabling growth in the biogas and biomethane sectors.

The program will contribute matched financial assistance of $250,000 to $2 million, contributing up to 50% towards the total project cost.
