The UniSA Sustainable Aviation Team is dedicated to researching decarbonisation strategies for the aviation industry. In 2024, our team’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project successfully secured funding from the National Foundation for Australia–China Relations (NFACR). The project will work with key industry stakeholders in Australia and China through a series of SAF seminars and forums, jointly addressing the challenges of the SAF transition and strengthening business collaboration.

We will host five forums in 2025—in Shanghai (April 17), Guangzhou (July 5), Hong Kong (July), Chengdu (October), and Melbourne (November 27). These events aim to deepen understanding of sustainable aviation, showcase Australia’s potential in advancing aviation decarbonisation, and promote deep cooperation between Australia and China across the entire aviation value chain.
