We rely on aviation, but to reach our net zero targets we have to find a way to cut aviation emissions.

Today we announced the members the jet zero council & $30 million of funding for sustainable aviation fuel.

Introduction

On 21 June 2023, the Australian Government announced the establishment of the Australian Jet Zero Council.

The council brings together a cross-section of senior stakeholders from across the aviation sector and its supply chains to lead efforts to deliver net zero aviation in Australia. The council will also coordinate across the sector to provide advice to Government on issues related to the aviation industry’s transition to net zero emissions

The council’s work will complement the Government’s Aviation White Paper, which will set the scene for the next generation of growth and development across the aviation sector.

About the council
The Terms of Reference set out the council’s responsibilities and activities.

Australian Jet Zero Council Terms of Reference

Objectives

The council’s objectives are to:

1. Provide senior industry leadership on efforts to achieve net zero aviation in Australia;
   
2. Provide coordinated advice to the Australian Government, through the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, on policy and regulatory issues related to facilitating the aviation industry’s transition to net zero. This could cover issues including, but not limited to:
   
   
   1. the development of a sustainable aviation fuel industry (e.g. production, refining, transport and logistics capabilities) and other net zero capabilities that will create Australian jobs, having regard to Australia’s competitive advantages and commercial feasibility considerations;
      
   2. other measures that will reduce aviation emissions at least cost to industry, government and consumers, having regard to competitive neutrality considerations; and
      
   3. measures to enhance Australia’s aviation fuel security supply chains;
      
3. Promote, mobilise and galvanise industry efforts to decarbonise aviation.

Hmm...so the miniscule (after 6 months of procrastination) has decided to make herself the Chair of the now constituted Jet Zero council - WTD??   

MTF...P2 


My chip in – don't see why the minuscule need worry about 'jet zero' at all. The way things are there's hardly anyone left to fly 'em; or to fix 'em; or anywhere left to land 'em. CASA has just about accomplished 'zero' aviation all by 'em selves. Give it five years and we will be back to horse and carts; until animal's right take over – ye gods; the methane levels will sky rocket and it will all start again. I'm looking to buy my cave now, before the prices escalate and the developers move in.. 'K'...
