Wagner delivers Australia’s first dedicated SAF blending terminal

Wagner Sustainable Fuels has commenced operations at Australia’s first dedicated Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blending terminal, partnering with Boeing and technology provider, FlyORO, to achieve the critical aviation and renewable energy milestone.
The facility, which is powered by FlyORO’s proprietary patented technology, is not only an Australia first, but also the first SAF blending terminal co-located at an airport globally.
Its modular design can scale with demand and be replicated as the SAF industry takes hold in Australia and the Asia Pacific.
In addition, Wagner Sustainable Fuels has become Australia’s first RSB (Roundtable of Sustainable Biomaterials) certified SAF company.
This gives customers a world-leading accounting process and guarantees chain-of-custody and SAF authenticity.
“This is a defining moment for sustainable aviation in Australia and underscores Wagner Sustainable Fuels’ commitment to provide solutions today for the challenges of tomorrow,” said Matt Doyle, CEO Wagner Sustainable Fuels.
“The launch of our Toowoomba Terminal is the start of our plans to deliver decarbonisation benefits and meet the aviation sector’s growing demand through flexible, efficient and scalable SAF blending.”
“With the support from Boeing, we’re focused on bringing large scale SAF and renewable diesel production to Australia and integrating it into the global supply chain through the Brisbane Recycling and SAF Facility, which is currently under planning and development,” said Doyle.
“Current global regulations permit commercial aircraft to use up to a 50/50 blend of SAF and fossil jet fuel. This will continue to rise as additional production pathways are certified,” said Dr Kimberly Camrass, Boeing head of Asia Pacific Sustainability.
“Wagner’s commercial blending terminal is a powerful step forward in aviation decarbonisation, boosting regional employment and opening new export markets. It will also provide important learnings to support the development of robust and scalable SAF supply chains within Australia.”
