Renewable diesel

Sectors such as resources, manufacturing, tourism, primary industries, construction, transport and logistics, are looking for alternative fuels in order to be globally competitive.

Australia uses more than 30 billion litres of diesel each year. While some of this fuel usage will transfer to electric, there is likely to be a substantial ongoing requirement for diesel or renewable diesel to 2050. This timeframe reflects the longevity of current transport, maritime and mining fleets for replacement as they come to end of life, and development of effective technologies for the sectors requiring 24/7 power or more power than is currently available through electric engines.
