The purpose of this project is to raise awareness among Australian and Chinese stakeholders about opportunities for growing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industries through seminars, workshops, presentations and publications. It aims to address the key barriers to the scaling up of SAF and strengthen relationships between Australia-China sustainable aviation fuel stakeholders to drive clean energy transition in the aviation sector and harness Australia’s role as a leader in clean energy and green innovation.
