Overview

Opportunity Snapshot

Kwinana Smart Fuels Pty Ltd (KSF) is a uniquely purposed entity formed to develop a large demand driven Net Zero Carbon Fuels (NZCF) Refinery project in Western Australia. The Refinery project will produce 900 million litres per annum of Jet and Automotive fuel for Australian markets, using Australian Natural Gas, sustainable Wood chips, renewable power, and hydrogen as feedstock for the Refinery … as opposed to crude oil.  At full production, the Refinery will generate over AUS $2.7b in revenue, with estimated EBITDAs over AUS $1.8b, annually.

 The Kwinana Refinery will carry NO carbon footprint (Net Zero) and will be sustainably cheaper to produce fuel, compared to conventional crude oil fuel production. The project, to build and commission the Refinery, has been specifically developed to address the transition and mounting demand for low carbon fuels to underpin insatiable low carbon energy needs, eliminating 50+ million tons of CO₂ from the global carbon cycle during its lifetime, about 1.3% of global output.

Moreover, the exigency for carbon-based fuels (chiefly Jet & General transport) is forecast to increase globally before a peak in 2040, whereinafter electrification and other energy developments are predicted to then dominate. Notwithstanding, the demand for Jet and Automotive fuels will continue to increase beyond peak carbon-based demand.  

Australia also has a dangerously diminished capacity to produce aviation and transport fuels, relying upon Asia, the Middle East, and USA for over 90% of its fuel supply, creating sovereign risk and reliance upon volatile market pricing.
