In Australia, InnovationAus reported that the Western Australian government is working to develop an advanced biofuels strategy aimed at building a local biofuels industry and cutting emissions.
The state expects the strategy to help identify its use of existing agricultural and forestry resources in producing renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, according to the report.
The strategy forms part of the government’s Made in WA plan and supports its goal of net zero emissions by 2050, with biofuels expected to play a growing role in regional development and industrial diversification.
The government said Western Australia is well-placed to produce biofuels using crop residues such as oat, wheat and barley stubble, as well as canola and woody biomass from mallees and blue gums, the report added.
