Name: Andrew Lang

From: Australia

Organisation: SMARTimbers Cooperative Ltd. The Wood Energy Group

I am a member of the board because I want to: Help reduce dependence on fossil fuels by developing the significant and application of bioenergy as a cost effective and sustainable option.
 

Important issue at home right now: Low knowledge among policy makers and media commentators of the potential for bioenergy (including energy from municipal waste streams), and short planning timeframes and conflicting policies on renewable energy generally.
 
Important issue globally right now: Over reliance on fossil fuels and increasing energy use per capita.
 
Special interest/knowledge in the bioenergy area: Development and management of family forestry marketing cooperatives. Economics and logistics of small scale production from multiple benefit family forestry. Logistics and economics of conversion of forestry and timber industry waste to energy plant feedstock. Development of underlying policies that make biomass a cost competitive fuel.
