Brief description

Second Jet Zero Australia biorefinery development, proposed for Yarwun near Gladstone, as a 50:50 joint venture with Apeiron Bioenergy. Targets approximately 400 ML/year of SAF and renewable diesel via the HEFA pathway, with the flexibility to swing between maximum aviation fuel production and a co-production mix supplying up to 320 ML/year of renewable diesel for the mining, marine, heavy transport and defence sectors. A feasibility study supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Enterprise Singapore found a strong technical and commercial case. Jet Zero has executed a letter of intent with Gladstone Ports Corporation to integrate the project into existing port infrastructure and is finalising a land deal with Economic Development Queensland for a site in the Gladstone State Development Area.
