Turning sugar cane waste into biojet fuel in Queensland

As global demand for cleaner fuels grows, Queensland is seizing the opportunity to secure more jobs and more of the supply chain in industries like biofuels. Transitioning some of our fuel sources to biofuels is beneficial for the environment, helps us meet decarbonisation goals, increases fuel security and creates jobs and opportunities for Queenslanders in the process.
A new pilot biorefinery plant in Queensland has been built by Mercurius Australia in Mackay. It makes use of waste from one of the region’s most well-known crops, sugarcane, turning crop waste, bagasse, into renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. The plant is based at Queensland University of Technology’s Renewable Biocommodities Pilot Plant .
Mercurius is using novel technology and is working with QUT to demonstrate the technology works at a pilot scale and identify commercial opportunities.
This new biorefinery is a significant step towards increasing Queensland’s onshore biofuel manufacturing capabilities. Attracting companies like Mercurius to Queensland paves the way for the creation of skilled jobs within the industry and improves Queensland’s fuel security.
