ARENA Funds Major Steps Towards Sustainable Aviation Fuels

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has committed $14.1 million to advance the development of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), aiming to decarbonize the country’s aviation sector. This funding supports two key studies:

1. Ampol’s Brisbane Renewable Fuels Pre-FEED Study

   • Funding: $8 million

   • Focus: Developing a renewable fuels facility at Ampol’s Lytton refinery, targeting annual production of over 450ML of SAF and renewable diesel, equivalent to nearly 5% of Australia’s 2019 jet fuel consumption.

2. GrainCorp’s SAF Oilseed Crushing Facility Study

   • Funding: $6.1 million
