Wshop120607: Realising the opportunities for biofuels and bioproducts from woody biomass

With the establishment of biofuels and biochemical targets in the New Zealand Forest and Wood Products Industry Strategic Action Plan, sector players are focusing on the commercial drivers for making it happen. The Woodco-led industry plan builds on the Government’s own Energy Strategies and the Bioenergy Strategy being led by BANZ. We now have a sound basis for moving forward to realise the opportunities.

This conference, held in conjunction with NZBIO, brought investors, resource owners and technology providers together to start building the relationships for moving forward
