World region Australia

Bioenergy gains importance in Australia and New Zealand but also in some countries of Oceania. This implies such important residues like woody biomass, wheat straw, sugar cane (processing) residues, urban biowaste, manure and dung. However, the single most important fuel (in Australia) is bagasse for co-generation. In some countries, biomethane and biodiesel out of (micro-)algae is starting to play a role. In general, the sector is still relatively small.
