Forest grower opportunities in the biorefinery sector

Presented by Andrew Parratt, Parratt and Associates, Wednesday 22 May 2013.

There are a number of international examples where wood or lignocellulosic biomass is being utilised in small to large-scale biorefineries to produce biofuels, biochemical and biobased materials. However, there are a number of areas requiring further research and development for the creation of successful biorefinery systems within an Australia operating environment.

This webinar will present an overview of current lignocellulosic biorefinery technologies in use internationally along with an initial assessment of the relevance and utility for Australian plantation forest growers.
