Subject: CEFC launches $200+ million fund to unlock the potential of bioenergy
The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) has this morning announced it aiming to accelerate investment in Australia’s bioenergy sector through a $100 million cornerstone commitment to a new equity fund for bioenergy and energy-from-waste.
The $200+ million Australian Bioenergy Fund, to be managed by the Foresight Group (Foresight), will support investment in a broad range of projects ranging from $2 million to $100 million.
The Australian Bioenergy Fund will invest in a range of technologies including:
· energy from waste
· anaerobic digestion
· sustainably sourced biomass-to-energy projects
· landfill gas capture
· wood pelletisation (where forestry plantation waste is converted into pellets that can be burned as fuel), and
· the production of biofuels.
Please see the attached factsheet and media release or contact me for further information.
Kind regards
