1 ARENA Workshop Renewables for Industrial Processes

2 We want to know your thoughts Do you feel that a deadline for expressions of interest is required? Will this provide motivation? How long should be allowed to develop an expression of interest? What potential knowledge products and channels would be good for disseminating outcomes? How can this be facilitated and coordinated with existing renewable energy or energy efficiency information resources? How can ARENA work better with existing organisations to optimise outcomes? Is there interest in coordinating efforts on a sectoral or regional basis?
