HAMR Energy announces plans for Australia’s first major methanol to jet fuel facility

HAMR Energy reveals SA and Victoria shortlist for 800 million green fuel facility | 28th July 2025

Some big news from the HAMR Energy team.

We've unveiled plans for our pioneering methanol to jet (MtJ) sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility, short-listing potential locations in South Australia and Victoria. This is the first proposed MtJ facility in Asia-Pacific outside of China, positioning Australia at the forefront of next-generation aviation decarbonisation.

Project highlights include:

  • First of a kind project in the region

  • Production for 125 million litres of SAF annually

  • Creates over 50 full time jobs and hundreds more during construction

  • Detailed feasibility study completed

  • A major step forward in decarbonising the engines of the sky

It's great to be featured today in the Adelaide Advertiser and Herald Sun today. Check out the full coverage here:
