Jet Zero has completed feasibility studies, negotiated key agreements, attracted strong financial backers and lenders, and recently commenced Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) with a world-leading ATJ technology provider LanzaJet and construction contractor Technip Energies and Long Energy & Resources for a first-of-a-kind commercial scale 113 million litre per year Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Diesel (RD) project in Asia named Project Ulysses, after the iconic North Queensland butterfly.
The project, to be located in North Queensland’s Townsville State Development Area (SDA), will convert bioethanol from domestic agricultural by products into both SAF and renewable diesel.
Delivering Project Ulysses is forecast to help capture the economic benefits of a domestic SAF industry for Queensland.
Project Ulysses is forecast to directly deliver 1,000 construction jobs and more than 100 direct operational jobs to the Townsville regional economy. The Project also has strong supply chain linkages to other key domestic industries and will deliver key demand and employment drivers across the agriculture, aviation, energy, defence and logistics sectors.
At completion Jet Zero’s Project Ulysses is forecast to:
Jet Zero Australia and Aperion Bioenergy have partnered to develop low carbon intensity feedstocks in Australia to help meet the demand for renewable fuels.
This partnership focuses on sourcing of waste oils and production of non-edible crops for Hydrotreated Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production.
The project has been awarded grant funding by Enterprise Singapore and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) under the Go Green Co-Innovation Program to progress feasibility studies.
Through the partnership, the two companies are targeting to increase the capacity of Australian feedstocks and renewable fuels for their respective customers.
More coming soon. Stay tuned for the latest updates.
