An Australian university has been awarded a research grant aimed at strengthening cooperation with China in the field of sustainable aviation fuel. The funding will support joint studies focused on cleaner fuel options for the aviation sector.
The project is expected to explore ways to improve SAF production, supply chains, and long‑term viability. Collaboration between researchers from both countries will help share technical knowledge and practical experience.
Sustainable aviation fuel is seen as one of the key tools for reducing aviation’s carbon footprint, especially for long‑haul flights where alternatives are limited. Research partnerships play an important role in accelerating progress in this area.
The grant reflects growing interest from governments and industry in international cooperation to meet climate targets. Universities are increasingly involved in bridging the gap between research and real‑world aviation use.
The initiative highlights how academic research can support broader aviation sustainability goals while strengthening ties between countries through shared environmental objectives.
