The present report involves the study the Australian bioenergy potential. According to the natural sources of Australia, has agriculture experimented and optimal weather condition to the bioenergy technologies development. The bioenergy generation represents 9.7% of the total production of renewable energies in Australia. In a similar way, the primary solid biofuel had the prevalence of the energy supplied from bioenergy with around 89% of production.
The region with the highest bioenergy generation in Australia was Queensland and New South Wales, whose main biomass is bagasse. Moreover, the principal type of feedstocks used on current projects was the municipal and industrial waste with 64% of predominance. On the other hand, waste management has a significant role in the current amount of urban waste due to improves local sustainability. At the same time, its influence on the expansion of bioenergy technologies allows improves processes and efficiency associated with the technology. What in turn increase the bioenergy potential.
