In Australia, biofuels could strengthen Australia’s fuel security and create new markets for the country’s farmers at the same time, Rabobank says in a newly-released report. The agribusiness banking specialist’s RaboResearch division says, in a world where many of Australia’s global agricultural competitors have greater fuel security and less exposure to export markets for their […]
In Australian, engineering firm Worley has been selected to engineer D-CRBN’s renewable syngas demonstration plant in Belgium. The project is designed to demonstrate a lower-carbon pathway for producing feedstock used in the chemicals and fuels sectors. The plant will produce syngas using D-CRBN’s plasma technology, which uses electricity to convert carbon dioxide and biomethane into […]
In Australia, Mitsui Kinzoku has reached an agreement with Wildfire Energy to jointly advance a demonstration project aimed at producing low-cost bio-methanol from biomass and waste feedstocks, with a view to future application in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The project will be implemented with a grant of A$3.15 million, announced by the Australian Renewable Energy […]
In Australia, Zero Australia (Jet Zero) has completed an A$30 million funding round, managed by Barrenjoey, which received strong institutional investor support, including investment from Qantas and Airbus. The proceeds will primarily fund completion of Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and the Project’s continued progression towards Final Investment Decision (FID) and construction. POSCO INTERNATIONAL has become […]
In Australia, Toyota is exploring the use of low-carbon liquid fuels (LCLFs) as part of its multi-pathway approach to decarbonisation, which can help the transition to lower-emission motoring while achieving substantially the same levels of the performance, reliability and range Australians rely on. Toyota and Ampol are currently undergoing a trial using 100 per cent […]
In Australia, Australian Defence Force has begun rolling out low carbon liquid fuel (LCLF) blends across its network in an effort to strengthen fuel resilience. The initiative introduces aviation and diesel fuels containing synthetic components to fuel installations nationwide and aligns with the 2026 National Defence Strategy to enhance energy security and operational readiness. DETO […]
In Australia, the Western Australian Biomethane Potential Study is set to be published by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), Government of Western Australia. Verbrec is the lead author of the study, responsible for the engineering, techno-economic assessment and energy transition strategy, working alongside Northmore Gordon and Oakley Greenwood. The study assesses […]
In Australia, the Australian newspaper reports Labor government is considering sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandates for airlines as part of broader measures to strengthen fuel security and develop domestic renewable-fuel production. Energy Minister Chris Bowen released discussion papers outlining plans for a strategic fuel reserve and higher minimum fuel-stock requirements, while Minister Madeleine King highlighted […]
In Australia, Viva Energy and Cleanaway have welcomed the Australian Government’s latest reform to the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting scheme (NGERs) which will recognize low carbon liquid fuels, including renewable diesel, LPG and kerosene made via co-processing at local refineries. Under the change, customers may report the certified renewable content in eligible co-processed fuels […]
In Australia, a new ARENA-backed project could turn forestry byproducts like sawdust and bark into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), helping cut aircraft emissions while also supporting a new clean fuels industry in Australia. The A$32 million in conditional funding will support HAMR Energy to conduct a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and other development activities for a proposed biomass-to-fuel supply chain across Victoria and South Australia. The project aims to convert forestry byproducts into […]
