Qantas will use 10% sustainable aviation fuel by 2030, potentially sourcing feedstock from a huge revegetation project in Western Australia, as part of its net-zero strategy.
Virgin Australia is leading a new project to test biofuels at Brisbane airport and expects to be a buyer of credits created through new and existing ERF methods, says its sustainability manager Robert Wood.
Australia's biofuels industry is poised for rapid growth due to policy changes, growing interest from airlines and navies, and technological advances, according to Biofuels Association chief executive Mark Sutton.
