The Federal Government has awarded Adelaide University A$400,000 to run the Australia-China Cooperation for Sustainable Aviation (ACCSA) project, aimed at accelerating the development and commercial deployment of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through joint research, conferences and student exchanges(australianaviation.com.au).
The initiative will stage conferences in Beijing, Adelaide, Brisbane, Hong Kong and Sydney, and create an industry networking platform connecting airlines, fuel producers and investors in both countries.
Whether you are a student attending an exchange in Beijing or an executive flying to one of the SAF conferences, VisaHQ can simplify the often-complex visa requirements for both Australia and China. Their online platform provides fast, reliable processing and expert guidance so travellers can focus on sustainability goals instead of paperwork. Find out more at https://www.visahq.com/australia/

For airlines operating into and out of Australia—Qantas, Virgin Australia, and a growing roster of Chinese carriers—SAF uptake is central to meeting net-zero pledges and avoiding future carbon levies.
Corporate mobility programmes could benefit from greater availability of SAF-powered flights, which help reduce Scope 3 emissions embedded in employee travel. Some multinationals already mandate a percentage of SAF in company-booked tickets where available; expanded supply could make such policies easier to implement and less costly.
The grant also signals Canberra’s willingness to compartmentalise climate collaboration from broader geopolitical tensions—a positive sign for students and executives who rely on the busy Australia–China air corridor.
