New Woody Crops Industries (Program 3)

The New Woody Crops Industries program is developing woody perennials systems for southern Australia to provide new incomes streams, sinks for surplus water and carbon, and better environmental protection for farmland.

Its main challenge is overcoming impediments to commercial performance of biomass supply industries with a cost structure to meet anticipated increased demand. The program will integrate the delivery of its knowledge to commercial developers in the form of commercial feasibility assessments of specific regional project proposals.
