In Australia, local low carbon liquid fuels (LCLF) company HAMR Energy announced that its $494-564 million sustainable aviation fuel production facility will be located in South Australia after receiving backing from the State Government.
The company noted that the project will be the first-of-its kind in Australia, utilizing global engineering firm Honeywell’s technology and site selection is a key part of HAMR Energy’s strategy to produce SAF.
HAMR Energy said it it is now undertaking due diligence on sites suitable for major industrial developments with the support for the South Australian Government.
The facility, when up and running, will convert 300,000 tons of low carbon methanol, made from plantation forestry residues and hydrogen into approximately 140 million liters of SAF.
