A proposed facility that could turn agricultural waste into jet fuel has won a $14 million (US$9.64 million) launch boost from state and federal governments.

Jet Zero Australia announced the record funding on Sep. 27 after commitments from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Queensland government for engineering required to build a plant in Townsville.
