The Australian federal government is allocating $1.1 billion in grants to promote the domestic production of low-carbon liquid fuels, essential for decarbonizing challenging sectors such as aviation, mining, and construction. Sustainable fuels, derived from feedstocks like sugarcane and canola, as well as non-biomass sources like captured carbon dioxide, face significant hurdles, particularly high costs and logistical challenges due to the distance from production sites to urban centers. Industry leaders emphasize the need for ongoing investment to grow this emerging sector.
