flag Australia launches biofuels project with $1.1B funding, aiming for 10% domestic aviation fuel by 2030 using waste materials.

flag Australia is advancing its biofuels industry, launching its first blending facility at Wellcamp Airport and developing a large-scale plant in Brisbane with $1.1 billion in federal funding. flag Using waste materials like sugar cane, wood chips, and used cooking oil, the country aims to produce sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel, targeting up to 10% of domestic aviation fuel needs by the early 2030s, with first domestic production expected by 2028. flag Supported by airlines like Qantas and Virgin Australia, and a national feedstock strategy, Australia seeks to become a key exporter in the Asia-Pacific region. flag However, high production costs—up to five times fossil fuel prices—mean government mandates are likely needed for broader adoption.
