Bioenergy and Climate Change
The Bioenergy Australia 2013 conference included a stream on the Climate Change Effects of Biomass and Bioenergy Systems. Leading international experts from Australia, Brazil, USA and Sweden provide their perspectives on how biomass contributes to mitigating climate change and more generally sustainability.
Benefits of Bioenergy
This video canvases opinions on Biomass Feedstocks from a group of presenters at the Bioenergy Australia 2012 national conference attended by 264 delegates from Australia and the region, where the interviewees were part of 100 speakers on a wide range of topics.
Bioenergy for rural economic development
Bioenergy is known for its impressive economic and job creation potential, especially in rural areas. Six speakers from the Bioenergy Australia 2013 conference expand on their presentations on how bioenergy fosters rural and regional economic development.
Ralph Sims talks about the importance of Bioenergy
This video speaks to a presentation by Prof. Ralph Sims at the Bioenergy Australia 2012 national conference attended by 264 delegates from Australia and the region, where Ralph was one of 100 speakers on a wide range of topics.
Pacific Pyrolysis carbon negative energy technology
Dr Adriana Downie from Pacific Pyrolysis talks about a slow pyrolysis technology that produces both energy and biochar. The technology not only produces bioenergy, it also produces a biochar that can be used as a soil amendment. This interview was filmed at the 2011 Bioenergy Australia Conference, and is based on a presentation given at the same conference.
