The UniSA Sustainable Aviation Team is dedicated to researching decarbonisation strategies of 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 SAF forums in 2025—in Shanghai (17 April), Guangzhou (July), Hong Kong (July), Chengdu (October), and Melbourne (Novermber). These events aim to deepen understanding of SAF, showcase Australia’s potential in exporting SAF feedstock and producing SAF, and promote deep cooperation between Australia and China across the entire SAF value chain.

南澳大学可持续航空团队致力于研究航空业的低碳转型研究。2024年，我们团队的可持续航空燃油（SAF）项目成功获得NFACR基金会的资助。该项目将通过一系列SAF交流活动，与两地的关键行业利益相关方紧密合作，共同应对SAF转型的挑战，并加强商业合作。

我们计划于2025年在五个城市举办SAF交流活动，分别为上海（4月17日）、广州（7月）、香港（7月）、成都（10月）和墨尔本（11月）。这些活动旨在加深公众对SAF的认知，展示澳大利亚在SAF原料出口和生产方面的潜力，并推动两地在SAF价值链各环节的深度合作。
