Boeing and the CSIRO say Australia could source as much as 60 per cent of its jet fuel requirements from sustainable sources in just 18 months – but only if airlines, jet fuel companies and plane manufacturers work with government to unlock supplies of feedstock.
On 24 August 2023, GreenPower launched a new renewable gas certification to help commercial and industrial gas users directly support renewable gas projects and reduce emissions from energy use.
Australia has a moment-in-time opportunity to develop a sovereign sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry, with domestic demand for jet fuel expected to increase by 75 per cent by 2050, according to a new roadmap released today by Australia's national science agency, CSIRO and Boeing Australia.
Aviation giant Boeing has partnered with the CSIRO in the hope of turning Australian feedstock into 5 billion litres of sustainable aviation fuel — or enough to power 640,000 flights between Sydney and Melbourne.
For local sustainable and renewable energy player EDL Energy, the continuing lack of policy certainty around much of Australia’s energy transition remains a handbrake on investment in this country, especially when it comes to biogas.
Australia’s first biomethane demonstration project at Sydney Water’s Malabar treatment plant is using wastewater to produce the renewable gas, and is expected to initially produce around 95TJs of biomethane per year - equivalent to the average amount of gas used by approximately 6300 homes each year.
As Australia continues its transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, the role played by gas, and gas networks, is capturing increasing attention.
