Please join us at the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Meets Parliament cocktail event on the new date Monday 21 November 2022.

The inaugural Sustainable Aviation Fuel Meets Parliament is set to accelerate Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) deployment in Australia.  Join us and special guests:

The Hon. Catherine King MP
Federal Member Ballarat
Minister Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development & Local Government 

Andrew Parker
Chief Sustainability Officer, Qantas

Air Vice-Marshal (retired) John Blackburn AO
Chair of the Institute for Integrated Economic Research

It is no secret that Sustainable Aviation Fuels are imperative for the aviation sector to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.  Generally, SAF produces up to 80% less carbon emissions over its lifecycle compared to conventional jet fuel and critically, can be used in today’s fuelling infrastructure and aircraft engines without any modifications at up to a 50% blend.

With significant announcements made by leading airlines such as Qantas committing 10% SAF by 2030 (and ~60% by 2050) we need immediate and decisive action by Government to capitalise on the opportunities presented by developing this new industry. 

With industry and Government working together to create a supportive investment and policy environment, an Australian SAF industry could:

• Create more than 7,400 jobs by 2030, and up to 15,600 jobs by 2050, most in regional areas
• Contribute an additional $2.8B in GDP per year by 2030, and up to $7.6B per year in 2050
• Secure Australia’s domestic fuel security, removing reliance on imported liquid aviation fuel
• Contribute to achieving Australia’s emission reduction targets

Throughout Spring the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Alliance of Australia and New Zealand (SAFAANZ) have been meeting with Federal Members, Senators and Departmental officials to discuss the potential of sustainable aviation fuel to decarbonise the hard-to-abate aviation sector in Australia.
