The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO, Australia's national science agency), together with stakeholders in the Australian aviation sector, are embarking on a study "to help plan a sustainable future for aviation fuels and reduce the sector's greenhouse gas emissions." Called the "Sustainable Aviation Fuels Road Map," the initiative will: (1) "articulate the pathways and challenges to accelerate the development and commercialisation of a sustainable aviation fuels industry in Australia and New Zealand", (2) "examine the barriers, opportunities and implications of producing bio-derived jet fuels at scale, including commercial viability, environmental sustainability, and alternative biomass feedstocks, and (3) "draw on the diverse expertise of the participants and use sophisticated economic modelling technology to map out future scenarios". By September 2010, the Initiative expects to release a public report that is designed to provide input to strategic policy and investment decision making for government and industry stakeholders. Participants of the Sustainable Aviation Fuels Roadmap include some commercial airlines from Australia and New Zealand, aircraft manufacturing companies, the Australian Defence Force, Biofuels Associations of Australia and New Zealand, The Climate Group, and the Victorian Department of Innovation and Regional Development..
