Purpose of the Alliance

The purpose of the Queensland Renewable Fuels Alliance (QRFA) is to accelerate the strategic development and deployment of renewable diesel (RD), sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and renewable natural gas (RNG) industries in Queensland by:

• Creating a unified voice for Queensland's renewable fuels industry
• Supporting the Queensland Government's objectives to establish Queensland as an Asia-Pacific biofuels hub
• Facilitating collaboration across the entire value chain from feedstock to end-user
• Identifying and addressing barriers to industry growth specific to Queensland
• Enhancing fuel security and economic diversification in Queensland, particularly in regional areas
