By diversifying how land and resources are used, we’re targeting new pathways for producers to participate in sustainable fuel and sovereign capability.

LOW CARBON LIQUID FUELS

With a volatile global energy system under pressure, alternatives to energy production, supply and security need to be considered. Low Carbon Liquid Fuels (LCLF) offer a low-carbon solution for hard-to-abate industries such as long-distance transport, mining and construction.

SAF and RD are examples of LCLF that may be used as drop-in replacements for fossil fuels. IATA estimates SAF can reduce lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions by up to 80% compared with fossil fuels

LCLFs are derived from a range of feedstocks such as biomass, waste products, natural oils and fats, other carbon sources and hydrogen. Crops like pongamia provide potential feedstocks for SAF because they can grow in tough conditions, produce high-energy oils or sugars and do not compete with food crops or high-value farmland.
