Renewable fuels have the potential to transform our energy landscape and are critical to achieving NSW’s emission reduction goals and reaching net zero by 2050. They provide sustainable, long-term replacements for fossil fuels in key sectors and additional short-term options to decarbonise. Examples of renewable fuels include:
- green hydrogen
- biogas and biomethane
- biodiesel and renewable diesel
- methanol
- sustainable aviation fuel.
Developing a new renewable fuel strategy for NSW
We are consulting with stakeholders to help shape a renewable fuel strategy for NSW that will diversify and expand our local renewable fuel industry.
A thriving renewable fuel industry will provide NSW with significant economic growth, attract investment, and create jobs and opportunities for businesses and communities. It will also help NSW deliver 4 strategic objectives:
 |  |  |  |
| Achieve NSW's emissions reduction targets | Decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors | Drive economic development in regional NSW | Improve fuel security |
Amending the Renewable Fuel Scheme
In 2024, we’re amending the existing Renewable Fuel Scheme to ensure it aligns with industry development. In this consultation, you can also provide feedback on whether the Scheme should expand to include additional renewable fuels and liable parties.
Consultation is now open
Join the conversation and inform how we diversify and build up a renewable fuel industry across NSW. Your feedback can help us identify where we need to take action to accelerate our transition to net zero.
