CANEGROWERS has welcomed the release of a parliamentary report on a sugarcane-based bioenergy industry in Queensland, thanking the committee for listening to growers and recognising the role the industry can play in strengthening Australia’s fuel and energy security.
CANEGROWERS CEO Dan Galligan said the Queensland Parliament’s Primary Industries and Resources Committee, under the leadership of Stephen Bennett MP, had done the hard yards – hearing directly from growers in regional communities and again at the final hearing in Brisbane, where CANEGROWERS laid out the case for a biofuels industry.
