Queensland-based regional carrier Skytrans is looking to fly between Brisbane and Gladstone using a 15-seat Stralis B1900D-HE, which is a modified Beechcraft 1900D turboprop plane designed and built in Brisbane by Stralis Aircraft. The engines and kerosene fuel system will be replaced by a Hydrogen Electric Propulsion System (HEPS) and liquid hydrogen storage tank, which will emit only water vapour.
The site in Queensland will transform agricultural by-products, including sugarcane, into up to 100 million litres of SAF per year.
The initiative will make up part of a $139.9 million investment over a three-year period, alongside funding upgrades for Hobart airport, border facilities in Newcastle, and western Sydney’s international airports.
Australia's first refinery for sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel is set to soon open its doors in Gladstone, Queensland, supported by the Queensland government.
