Sustainable Fuel Fund Worth 1.1 Billion AUD Announced by LanzaJet in Australia for 2025
In a groundbreaking move, the Australian region of Victoria will soon be home to the country's first ethanol-based Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plant. This initiative is a collaborative effort between LanzaJet, Inc., a leading next-generation fuels technology company, and other partners.
The ethanol-to-SAF plant, which will be based in Queensland, is set to leverage LanzaJet's proprietary Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology. This innovative technology will play a crucial role in transforming ethanol into SAF, a move that aligns with Australia's decarbonization efforts in the transportation sector.
The Australian Government has shown its commitment to this cause with a significant investment in the Cleaner Fuels Program. This investment not only provides critical support to Australia's energy security but also reinforces local and global momentum around SAF.
The second SAF plant, based on municipal solid waste, is another promising development. This project, a partnership between LanzaJet, LanzaTech, Boeing, Wagner Sustainable Fuels, Jet Zero Australia, Qantas, Airbus, the Queensland Government, and ARENA, aims to establish Australia's first municipal solid waste to SAF plant.
These new SAF plants could potentially offer a new, long-term revenue stream for Australia's agricultural industry. By utilising locally sourced feedstocks, the agricultural sector stands to benefit significantly from this shift towards sustainable fuels.
Australia's position as a global leader in SAF production is further solidified by these developments. The country has demonstrated vision and pragmatism in the global energy transition, positioning itself to become a key player in the production of low-carbon liquid fuels.
LanzaJet, Inc. applauds the Australian Government for its investment and global leadership in advancing low-carbon liquid fuels, including SAF. The company commends the Government for its efforts in strengthening Australia's ability to decarbonize its transportation sector, a move that is linked to Australia's national security strategy.
In conclusion, the construction of these SAF plants marks a significant step forward for Australia in its pursuit of a sustainable future. With its commitment to cleaner fuels and its strategic partnerships, Australia is well on its way to becoming a global leader in SAF production.
