Location:
Rydges South Bank, Brisbane, Australia

Forum Venue: Level 12 Ballroom
Networking Venue: Bacchus Bar

 

Date: Monday, 1 December 2025

 

Time: 10.00 AM Registration, 10.30 AM Forum

 

Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) have long been important suppliers of biofuel feedstocks to Europe and the US but trade flows are moving to reflect changing tariffs, rebates and certification demands, as well as the emergence of the Asia-Pacific as the new epicentre of global biofuels growth. And the biggest change could come from viable domestic biofuel industries in ANZ that see feedstocks stay in country to provide fuel security, regional development, reduced emissions and potentially a new export industry.

 

Join us to explore how lessons from global biofuel markets can be applied in ANZ to secure feedstocks, underpin project development and inform policy —while gaining exclusive insights into the latest price trends and market intelligence from Argus.
