A further $1.5 million will go towards a two-year analysis of the costs and benefits of introducing mandates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a lot of potential to produce sustainable aviation fuels in Australia and China, as both countries have large quantities of bio feedstock and the market is untapped,&#8221; Prof Zhang says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Australia is among a handful of countries globally to support the transition to SAFs, but the financial commitment to develop a local industry does not extend to a mandate at this stage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miragenews.com\/australia-readies-for-renewable-aviation-fuels-1238487\/\">https:\/\/www.miragenews.com\/australia-readies-for-renewable-aviation-fuels-1238487\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aviation News &#8211; Aviation experts from the University of South Australia\u00a0(UniSA) will work with their Chinese counterparts over the next two years to develop a sustainable aviation biofuel industry in both countries.
