A Labor Government would provide Licella with a $5 million grant towards the development of a QLD biorefinery to transform sugarcane waste into SAF.
Licella welcome today’s announcement by the Australian Labor Party in support of domestic biofuel manufacturing for Defence.
A Labor Government would provide Licella with a $5 million grant towards the development of a Queensland biorefinery to transform sugarcane waste into military spec fuels, including Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
This funding would help establish a commercial biorefinery in the Burdekin region of QLD, with Licella’s Australian-developed Cat-HTR™ technology at its core. It is a key step for Australia to establish an SAF focused biorefinery critical to our future fuel security.
Every year, an estimated 1.65 million tonnes of sugarcane tops and trash (unused waste by-products of the sugarcane industry) is produced in the Burdekin region. Through collaboration with stakeholders in the Burdekin, the opportunity exists to divert this wasted biomass from burning. A local biorefinery would provide a commercially and environmentally attractive alternative for growers.
Supported by the Queensland Labor Government’s Waste to Biofutures fund, Licella have already successfully demonstrated the conversion of sugarcane trash to biocrude at their Cat-HTR™ Commercial Demonstration Facility in Somersby, NSW.
This funding would accelerate demonstration of SAF production from Licella’s biocrude and the certification of SAF for domestic civil and military applications.
Burdekin Renewable Fuels Chairman Greg Rossato said that the funding helps highlight the potential for the Burdekin to contribute to a strong bioeconomy.
Once constructed, the biorefinery would create new jobs in manufacturing, alongside indirect jobs in the supply chain. It would significantly reduce emissions and provide much needed fuel security to Australia’s defence force.

OU joins search for geothermal energy’s holy grail
From an obscure research facility on a forgotten edge of the University of Oklahoma’s North Campus, a professor and his students have begun a journey that someday may lead to the doorstep of Earth’s molten core. They are targeting a geological stratum known as the “superhot rock zone,” where temperatures approach 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Finding it is not a problem, but the challenge of getting there is so great that some consider it the holy grail of geothermal energy.Forget wind turbines...
