Media Release: Jet Zero and Port of Townsville to Partner on Biofuel Infrastructure Opportunities

Townsville – 13th November 2025 – Jet Zero Australia Pty Ltd (“Jet Zero”) and the Port of Townsville have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to assess the feasibility of developing new biofuel storage and blending infrastructure at the third largest seaport in Queensland.

The collaboration will examine design and construction options for a potential tank farm facility to support the movement, blending, import and export of sustainable fuels associated with Jet Zero’s proposed Project Ulysses - one of Australia’s most advanced Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) facilities.

The Port of Townsville plays a critical role in facilitating trade and supporting regional industry growth, while ensuring efficient and sustainable port operations. Jet Zero’s Project Ulysses aims to produce both SAF and Renewable Diesel to meet the growing demand for biofuels, to meet mandated and voluntary demand for the fuels within the aviation and marine sectors.

Under the MOU, both parties will work together to assess the required infrastructure, technical and economic feasibility, and potential pathways to development.

“We are delighted to partner with the Port of Townsville to explore infrastructure solutions that will enable low-carbon liquid fuels to move efficiently through the region. This partnership highlights Townsville’s strategic importance in developing Australia’s sustainable fuel supply chains”, Ed Mason, Jet Zero CEO, said.

“The Port of Townsville welcomes opportunities to support emerging industries that contribute to regional growth and the transition to a low-emissions economy. This assessment with Jet Zero is an important step in understanding the role our Port can play in enabling new energy pathways”, Drew Penny, Port of Townsville GM Business Development, said.
