Australian Government: National Bioenergy Feedstock Strategy | 2026

Executive Summary on the National Bioenergy Feedstock Strategy

"The National Bioenergy Feedstock Strategy sets out how governments, industry and the supply chain can work together to strengthen the supporting conditions for a competitive domestic feedstock industry. It identifies feedstocks as a critical enabler of a low-emissions fuel future and provides a shared national direction to unlock production, mobilisation and investment.

The strategy provides direction for building a feedstock industry that is competitive, scalable, sustainable and internationally connected. It does not prescribe projects or mandate particular feedstocks. Instead, it focuses on the enabling conditions and shared priorities needed to help align activity by governments, industry, producers
and investors.

By reducing uncertainty, improving coordination and clarifying opportunities for further activity, the strategy lays the foundation for a feedstock industry that strengthens fuel security, supports emissions reduction and creates lasting opportunities for regional Australia.

The strategy focuses on 5 priority areas where collective effort would enable the development of a robust and competitive bioenergy feedstock industry. These are:

• Data to underpin investment
• Innovation to advance feedstock readiness
• Regional supply chain development
• Sustainability and certification
• 
  Building sector capability."
