Australian Sugar Manufacturers Call for National Ethanol Mandate to Enhance Energy Security
SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL
Australian Sugar Manufacturers urge the government to implement a national ethanol mandate to promote low-carbon fuels and ensure energy security. A model based on Queensland's E10 requirements would drive investment in domestic ethanol production and support sustainable aviation fuel and biodiesel development. The mandate is expected to create jobs, deliver cost-effective carbon abatement, and bolster Australia's fuel capabilities, addressing weaknesses in existing state-based mandates.
