About the Bioenergy Association
Bioenergy is renewable energy made available from materials derived from biological sources. Biomass is any organic material which has stored sunlight in the form of chemical energy. As a fuel it may include wood, wood waste, straw, manure, sugarcane, and many other byproducts from a variety of agricultural processes. In its most narrow sense it is a synonym to biofuel, which is fuel derived from biological sources but it includes biomass, the biological material used as a biofuel, as well as the social, economic, scientific and technical fields associated with using biological sources for energy.
Bioenergy Association
The Bioenergy Association represents the New Zealand bioenergy industry and is the only bioenergy-specific member association in New Zealand. We provide assistance and a wealth of bioenergy information to support members' business and promote their expertise and capabilities in the New Zealand and Australian bioenergy sectors.
Bioenergy Association membership is open to anyone with a commercial interest in bioenergy. Our members include land and forestry owners, wood processors, feedstock suppliers, fuel and energy suppliers, equipment supplies, manufacturers, consultants, contractors, energy researchers, educators, regulators and investors.
The Association advocates to Government on bioenergy related policy, develops best practice Technical Guides for New Zealand and Australia, hosts workshops and webinars and assists potential investors in bioenergy based solutions to assess technologies, market opportunities and market risks.
The Association websites www.usewoodfuel.org.nz, www.biogas.org.nz and www.liquidbiofuels.org are portals for promoting the experience and capabilities of members. Information and experience is provided through www.bioenergyknowledgecentre.org. These special topic interest groups are open to any Bioenergy Association member, each with its own committee and topic webpage.
