The Western Australia Low Carbon Fuels Summit will spotlight the state's potential as a low carbon liquid fuels powerhouse with immense opportunities in the sector.

We will showcase the region's cutting-edge developments in low carbon liquid fuels including Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Renewable Diesel, Biodiesel and Ethanol, and how these will be essential energy options in supporting decarbonisation of hard to abate sectors crucial to Western Australia and the wider Australian economy including Aviation, Marine, Rail, Heavy Transport, Mining, Construction, Agriculture and Manufacturing.

Hear from leading developers, representatives from industry and government agencies, and explore collaborative opportunities in the low carbon liquid fuels space, while gaining insights into the current regulatory and policy landscape affecting the supply and consumption of renewable fuels in Australia.

Don't miss this opportunity to be at the forefront of low carbon fuels advancements and contribute to shaping the future of the sector in Western Australia.
