Australia aims to become a major exporter of biofuels especially because of the country’s comparative advantage to support production of the resource.

Aviation experts from the University of South Australia (UniSA) will work together with their Chinese counterparts to develop a sustainable biofuel industry in both countries.

The said partnership builds on the $1.7 billion (US$1.1 billioin) federal budget allocation to prioritise renewable fuels for the aviation industry over the next decade.
