In Australia, Financial Review reported that Qantas has called on the federal government to consider mandates and subsidies for producers of sustainable aviation fuel to get a domestic industry off the ground. Andrew Parker, chief sustainability officer at Qantas, said zero emissions technology for commercial aviation, such as electric aircraft or green hydrogen, was still decades away, so sustainable aviation fuel remained the key tool for decarbonizing. Qantas has urged the federal government to provide capital support to kick-start new production facilities, implement a production incentive linked to carbon reduction from fuel to allow domestic producers to compete with overseas companies, and provide tax incentives and credits to sustainable aviation fuel producers, according to the report.
