Importantly, the roadmap is accompanied by an additional AU$33M for implementation, which is a critical aspect of the recent announcement which hopes to lift Australia\u2019s bioenergy performance from the bottom quartile of OECD nations.<\/p>\n<p>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eur05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farena.gov.au%2Fknowledge-bank%2Faustralias-bioenergy-roadmap-report%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7Cmar.edo%40ri.se%7C007c4ebcb00e498f018308d9b5fd0b0f%7C5a9809cf0bcb413a838a09ecc40cc9e8%7C0%7C0%7C637740920706450900%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=3pxcawtAF3Yk7oPCX%2BJyfoamHrdfRzgE3QteodPrALs%3D&amp;reserved=0\"><em>Australia\u2019s Bioenergy\u00a0Roadmap<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In November, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) released\u00a0Australia\u2019s Bioenergy Roadmap.
