BIOFUELS ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA
2016 National Biofuels Symposium
PROJECT OVERVIEW
With support from the Queensland Government, The Biofuels Association of Australia (BAA) organised the National Biofuels Symposium 2016 which was held on 22-23 August in Brisbane, Australia.
Momentum² was engaged to create a database of potential invitees, including ministers, councillors, leaders of industry and other key stakeholder groups, such as personnel at airports and in the aviation sector. We were also responsible for inviting key media and facilitating interviews with the CEO of the BAA, Mark Sutton.
The Symposium, held in Brisbane, was a landmark industry gathering following on from the Queensland Government’s release of its detailed plan for the bioenergy sector with biofuels as a major plank.
Key themes covered included:
-
The Queensland biofuels mandate – what does it mean for the industry?
-
Developing and growing a bio-economy
-
Biofuels and the aviation sector
-
Ethanol plant production
-
Bio-diesel and a cleaner environment
-
Education and public awareness
-
New biofuel technology
-
Biofuel and developing a sustainable agriculture industry
