Jet Zero Australia’s Post

I'm really excited by the opportunity for Australia to be a super-scale clean liquid fuels producer. 45% of Australia's energy comes from liquid fuels - mostly carbon-intensive petroleum products. And 90% of it is imported. What we're talking about here is standing up an industry that produces clean aviation fuel in Australia. This can help aviation here decarbonise faster and more than any other pathway in the next few decades. It can create tens of thousands of jobs, for people in rural and regional Australia - some of whom are already being displaced by the energy transition, so why don't we seize the opportunity to give them a new pathway? And we can protect Australia's sovereign interests and national security by reducing our dependence on imports. It can start with our farmers, which is why I've enjoyed speaking to them and sharing the opportunity, just like the one we see, with our partners at Qantas, by investing in Jet Zero Australia .. and more to come. Now, we need the right policy levers from Government. Their announcements of support are welcome, and we're helping them to shape the details, because what we do in the next 12-18 months makes the difference. Are we ready to be a liquid fuels super-power? Our farmers can be the first key to a clean energy future for transport.
