Australia’s sugar and grain industry team up to push for low-carbon liquid fuel feedstock strategy

In Australia, representatives from across Australia’s agriculture and fuel supply chain have urged the Federal Government to immediately initiate a national low-carbon liquid fuel feedstock strategy to give effect to the ambitious agenda outlined in the Federal Government Aviation White Paper released last week. The industry groups include GrainGrowers, the Australian Sugar Milling Council (ASMC) and Queensland CANEGROWERS Ltd.
Low carbon liquid fuels have been identified as a priority industry under the Federal Government’s flagship Future Made in Australia program, and a core component for the future net-zero ambitions of the aviation industry.
With its extensive agricultural resources, Australia has the capacity to produce significant quantities of feedstock. Producing low-carbon liquid fuels from this feedstock can play a key role in meeting national emissions reduction targets while simultaneously boosting rural economies.
