The first NSW Bioeconomy Summit on “Renewable Fuels Meets NSW Parliament’ was held on Monday 11th September and co-sponsored between Bioenergy Australia and Deloitte with RFS also delighted to have contributed.



The Summit was a huge success with over 150 attendees, hosting a range of informed speakers who shared insights into the domestic industry for Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Renewable Liquid Fuel and Renewable Gas.

The focus on Renewable Diesel has become a conversation that boardrooms in the fuel and transport industry across Australia are discussing. The need to identify the risks, and opportunities of investing in renewable fuels has become a priority if, as a nation, we are to catch up with the rest of the world in the transition from fossil fuel to a more sustainable future. Simon Roycroft, Future Fuels Manager, was invited to participate on two panels, representing RFS, and the other as Chair of the Cleaner Fuels Alliance.

The session on Renewable Diesel decarbonising Construction, Marine, Mining, Agriculture, Rail and Heavy Haulage was sponsored by Refuelling Solutions and the second and last session on The Great Feedstock Debate – Gas v Fuel, “Australia’s biomass resources should be reserved for liquid fuel instead of being used to decarbonise the gas network” led to great open ‘fiesty’ discussions and very thoughtful outcomes.

The Summit reached in excess of 26 million people through excellent media coverage across the country enabling the conversation to continue.

We extend our gratitude to the numerous participants and affiliated organizations whose contributions were instrumental in achieving the remarkable success of the NSW Bioeconomy Summit. It is evident from this gathering that our rapidly expanding sector is marked by a profound sense of determination and aspiration, and this growth persists irrespective of supportive policies, rather than being driven by them.
