Queensland Labor has joined forces with airline giant Qantas to get Queensland’s vision to be an Asia-Pacific green jet fuel hub on the runway.
Under a memorandum of understanding signed today, the Queensland Government and Qantas will work together to further grow a local SAF industry.
- Queensland Government and Qantas team up to unlock state’s full potential to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
- Clean aviation fuel critical for airlines to reach net zero emissions by 2050
- Partnership to help put Queensland at forefront of fast-growing SAF market
This will include exploring how to fully leverage sugarcane and agricultural by-products for biofuels production and the potential for developing new feedstock sources and processes.
More broadly, the parties will focus on developing a Queensland-based SAF supply chain.
SAF is yet to be produced in Australia at commercial scale.
Qantas currently uses green aviation fuel sourced overseas and is targeting 10% SAF in its fuel mix by 2030, and about 60% by 2050.
Today’s announcement, during Australian Renewable Fuels Week, is the latest in a series of SAF wins for Queensland.
In March this year, Queensland Labor, Qantas and Airbus announced support for Jet Zero Australia to commence a feasibility study for a new biorefinery in Queensland, which could produce up to 100 million litres of SAF a year.
Queensland Labor has also partnered with Ampol and ENEOS, which will assess the feasibility of delivering an advanced biofuels manufacturing plant at Ampol’s Lytton site.
Oceania Biofuels also plans to build a commercial aviation fuel biorefinery in Gladstone, which could generate up to 350 million litres of SAF and renewable diesel each year. – contributed

Thanks to aapkoning for the link to the movie, “Planet of the Humans,” which I watched and found flawed but did have one important message: That the whole scam is run by the globalist corporations to which many pseudo scientists have sold us out.
It should not have been called “Planet of the Humans” but rather “Planet of the Globalists.” The humans are mere victims in all this.
Remember Nicola Tesla offered the world free energy and was taken down by the globalists because it was free and they could not make money out of it.
Over the next few years we will see that free energy come to fruition and all the criminals that have held back not just that but many other fantastic life changing inventions, removed from the earth for crimes against humanity.
Isn’t it ironic. They wanted to so desperately to reduce the world population and we will be granting them that wish.

This has all been tried before – they make the mistake of thinking we have a short memory and that we as as dumb as they are – another “government/private partnership” scam where the tax payer gets screwed again.
Biofuels take more energy to produce than the energy stored in them – than the energy they produce.
Oil is a natural renewable resource. The term “fossil fuel” was contrived by Rockefeller et el. at one of the first energy conferences in Europe to promote the deception that oil was finite and thus would rise in price.

In 2013 QANTAS published an Aviation Biofuel Report of their feasibility study.

What didn’t get a mention was the use of nanoparticles in bio-diesel, to improve fuel burn and reduce unburnt carbon in the exhaust. You may have noticed that planes and diesel trucks are not emitting black smoke on take-off or when traffic lights go green.
Researchers had explored how the combustion characteristics of hydrocarbon fuels can be improved by the addition of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles enhance atomization in liquid fuels. Atomization involves a liquid forming tiny droplets, which allow for more effective combustion.
Coal fly ash is one source of nanoparticles in Queensland.
It is also used as a cheap substitute for cement.
In 2016 the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) received $18.6 million in penalties ordered against Cement Australia companies for anti-competitive flyash agreements
The Federal Court has ordered penalties totalling $18.6 million against Cement Australia Pty Ltd and related companies, for numerous contraventions of section 45 of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (now called the Competition and Consumer Act 2010) (the Act), which prohibits corporations from entering into, and giving effect to, contracts and arrangements that have the purpose or effect of substantially lessening competition, in proceedings brought by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
At this stage the penalty judgment has been made available to the parties only on a restricted basis, pending resolution of confidentiality issues. Accordingly, the ACCC cannot discuss the details of the penalty decision at this time.
Justice Greenwood found that the conduct had the purpose and effect of preventing a competitor from entering the market by preventing them from obtaining direct access to a source of flyash in South East Queensland.
With the recent announcement, I guess the access to coal fly ash has been resolved?

I should say it sounds like Anna Bligh’s saline water plant still not producing any clean water after spending $4 billion or so.

Talk about bad timing… research has now given cane sugar a clean bill of health, the blame landing squarely on high fructose corn syrup.
Whoa, boys, not so fast. Setting up infrastructure for biodiesel from cane might just be shooting yourself in the foot, with the price of cane about to rocket.

Are they Stupid? – or are they really bloody morons? Are they glorifying the Emu with the head in the Sand? Surely Australia will not sink this low? Are we going to make the same mistakes?
Maybe the Globalist watch and listen to this well-done Video: Michael Moore Presents Planet of the Humans | Full Documentary | Directed by Jeff Gibbs.
Fully updated. Please share, hopefully, we still have some WISE people in Australia, who wake up and can pull some strings… If not we are really stuffed… Thank you for taking the time to watch this video, yes a long one about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Wonder what the price of that fuel will be compared to avgas, or is it another justification to charge more for flights
