Second Generation Biofuels Research and Development Program (Gen2)
WHAT DOES GEN 2 OFFER?
The Second Generation Biofuels Research and Development Program is a competitive grants program which supports the research, development and demonstration of new biofuel technologies and feedstocks that address the sustainable development of a biofuels industry in Australia.
The Program provides matching grants, ranging from $1 to $5 million, for eligible projects involving the production of second generation biofuels in a sustainable manner.
The $15 million Program will be delivered over four years, from 2008-09 to 2011-12. The Program is funded through the Australian Government's $500 million Renewable Energy Fund, which supports the adoption of renewable energy technologies in Australia.
