Why This Matters

  • Send a strong demand signal that Australia is open for business in the development and deployment of LCLFs
  • Strengthen Australia's fuel security and reduce emissions across ground transport, maritime and aviation
  • Build on momentum from the Future Made in Australia initiative and the Cleaner Fuels Program
