FutureEnergy Australia (FEA) welcomes the WA Government’s announcement of $4.72m Investment Attraction Fund support for the Narrogin FutureEnergy Park

FutureEnergy Australia is pleased to announce it has received a commitment from the WA Government’s Investment Attraction Fund to provide a contribution of $4.72 million toward FEA’s FutureEnergy Park in Narrogin.

In welcoming the announcement, FEA Chair Adrian Cook said “We welcome the State Government grant and thank them for considering FEA. It demonstrates the Government’s understanding of and support for developing a renewable fuels industry to support our State and nation’s transition to a more decarbonised economy”.

FEA Managing Director Jennifer Lauber Patterson said “We are so grateful for the support provided by the WA Government via both the Investment Attraction Fund and the Clean Energy Future Fund as we continue our work to bring new jobs and fuel security to Western Australia as part of the energy transition.”

Once built, the biorefinery aims to convert sustainably sourced woody biomass such as plant-based agricultural waste into renewable diesel using high-temperature pyrolysis.

Renewable diesel can replace conventional diesel without requiring modifications to diesel engines. It burns cleaner and has a lower emissions profile compared to conventional diesel. The produced renewable diesel also has the potential to be further refined into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
