Join us for a free webinar in collaboration with the Trade Council of Denmark in Australia, where we’ll explore how bioenergy can help address Australia’s energy challenges.

Australia is on a mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and its reliance on fossil fuels. Our recent report identified a massive opportunity in biogas; by 2050, Australian agricultural waste alone could contribute 319 petajoules of energy per year – that’s a whopping 86% of the nation’s total biogas potential!
