SAF fuel takes off at Brisbane Airport
In Australia, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) said that Viva Energy Australia has recently completed refurbishing a storage tank at its Pinkenba Terminal which is now able to store, blend and supply sustainable aviation fuel to Brisbane Airport. The project had received funding from ARENA.
The project will supply SAF to aircraft at Brisbane Airport and trial a “book and claim” system, allowing airlines and corporate customers to purchase, track and account for the emissions reductions associated with the SAF supplied to the airport, the agency said.
ARENA CEO Darren Miller said this highlights progress in building the supply chains needed to decarbonize aviation. “Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise and sustainable aviation fuel will play a critical role in reducing emissions using today’s aircraft and infrastructure,” Miller said.
“This project shows how we can start supplying SAF through existing fuel systems, while building the foundations for a domestic industry in Australia,” he added.
