GrainCorp publishes white paper showing Australia’s SAF readiness
Titled From Paddock to Plane: Feedstock White Paper, the white paper sets out a clear and practical pathway for Australia to leverage existing agricultural and waste-based feedstocks to build a globally competitive SAF industry.
The release comes at a critical time for Australia’s energy resilience. Heightened disruption in the Strait of Hormuz has highlighted the nation’s reliance on imported liquid fuels, with around 90 per cent of domestic fuel demand sourced from overseas and limited onshore aviation fuel reserves.
Developed as part of GrainCorp’s role on the Federal Government’s Jet Zero Council, the white paper finds that Australia’s SAF opportunity is not constrained by feedstock availability, but by the need for investment, policy settings and market signals.
The paper also highlights that existing feedstocks could support SAF production equivalent to 117 per cent of Australia’s projected jet fuel demand in 2030, rising further as new feedstocks and technologies emerge.
