Our world is consuming more and wasting more. We are facing ever-increasing challenges to efficiently and profitably convert waste into energy and other products to lessen the footprint of our consumption. Join us for an evening to discuss the opportunities and developments in the Queensland Biofutures industry; specifically focusing on waste-to-energy from the micro-scale to the utility scale. With speakers from the Queensland Government, academia, the CEFC and those in the field running these projects – this will be an interesting evening discussing the challenges and benefits of turning waste into energy. This will be the third instalment of our Alternative Energy series of seminars.
