2026 Residues2Revenues

More businesses are recognising that wood residues are no longer just a waste stream - they're a valuable resource with growing commercial potential.

With the full two-day programme now available, you can now see the technologies, projects, and case studies that will be discussed when the industry comes together in Brisbane on 23–24 September.

Whether you're a forest manager looking to unlock new revenue streams, a wood processor exploring lower-carbon operations, or an industrial energy user seeking alternatives to fossil fuels, the programme is packed with practical insights:

Large-Scale Energy Transformation

Mike Haywood (Verdant Earth Technologies) opens Day One with a keynote exploring the transformation of Redbank Power Station and the growing role biomass can play in large-scale renewable energy generation.

Next-Gen Biofuels & Bioproducts

Miriam Blaine (HAMR Energy) will discuss the commercial production of liquid fuels from wood residues, while Jacob Kohn (Futurity Bio-Ventures) explains how lignin is being converted into low-emission alternatives for road bitumen.

Industrial Heat & Metals

Learn how major industries are reducing their reliance on fossil fuels through biomass, with Ben Crispe (Suncoast Green Energy) sharing practical approaches to industrial heat, and John Mellowes (Biocarbon) outlining opportunities for biomass in metals production.

Pyrolysis & Carbon Markets

Melissa Rebbeck (Metamorf Engineering) examines how pyrolysis is converting waste biomass into biochar while creating new opportunities through carbon removal.
