Nation added that the renovated facility would be able to alternate between producing biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><em>&#8220;At Kwinana, we&#8217;re fortunate in that we can reuse part of the processing machinery, the utilities, and we have tanks that are ready to use.

However, it is a highly costly investment&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast to the European Union, which recently announced its intention to require suppliers to blend a minimum of 2% of SAF into their jet fuel starting in 2025, Australia&#8217;s government has not yet mandated any processes related to SAF. BP is not the only company to recognise the need for more green fuel development in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Australia&#8217;s national airline Qantas and European aircraft manufacturer Airbus announced their joint investment of about $200 million in June 2022 to hasten the growth of SAF production in the nation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/air_bp_operator_refuelling_aircraft.jpg.img_.750.medium.jpg\" alt=\"British oil firm, BP plans to begin SAF production in Australia by 2025\" class=\"wp-image-22810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/air_bp_operator_refuelling_aircraft.jpg.img_.750.medium.jpg 750w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/air_bp_operator_refuelling_aircraft.jpg.img_.750.medium-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/air_bp_operator_refuelling_aircraft.jpg.img_.750.medium-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The collaboration agreement was made for a five-year term with the potential for an extension.
