Victorian Bioenergy Network

About

Victoria’s organic waste and biomass resources — from water utilities, agriculture, food production, and industry — represent a largely untapped energy opportunity. Bioenergy technologies transform those resources into dispatchable renewable energy, biomethane, and liquid biofuels. VBN is the peak body connecting the organisations building that sector in Victoria.

Our 35 member organisations span water utilities, agribusiness, energy companies, and technology providers. Together they share project intelligence, shape policy, and advance commercial deployment across biogas, biomethane, liquid biofuels, and waste-to-energy.

Membership is how serious bioenergy organisations in Victoria stay connected, informed, and influential.
