Boeing, Wagner collaborate to advance Australia’s SAF industry

In Australia, Boeing said it will collaborate with Wagner Sustainable Fuels on growing the sustainable aviation fuel industry to help meet Australia’s airline demand for jet fuel. “Wagner’s sustainability goals align with Boeing’s work to advance aviation decarbonization and energy security through renewable energy including SAF, advanced technologies, operational efficiency, and fleet renewal,” said Kim Camrass, Boeing Australia, New Zealand & South Pacific sustainability lead. “Our agreement is another step forward in realizing the recommendations identified in the Boeing/CSIRO SAF Roadmap,” the executive said. Boeing noted that the 2023 SAF Roadmap identified Australia’s prime position to develop a domestic SAF industry, by scaling the supply of SAF production while reducing costs, as well as the investment required in R&D to support emerging technologies. “We’re working closely with the Australian Government’s Jet Zero Council to overcome the challenges required to build a domestic SAF industry, such as feedstock availability, supply chain constraints and aligning to international standards,” said Camrass. Wagner Sustainable Fuels has commenced the design and construction of Australia’s first steady supply of SAF within the fuels’ precinct at the Wellcamp Airport in Toowoomba, Queensland, to blend SAF to international aviation regulations.
