Sustainable Fuel Regulations: What Businesses Need to Know

Biofuels provide a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on conventional diesel. They can lower your carbon footprint, support energy diversification, and offer excellent performance for industrial, transport, and construction applications. Plus, using biofuels supports the growth of local renewable fuel industries, contributing to energy security and environmental goals. 

Yes — renewable diesel is fully compatible with existing diesel engines and infrastructure. Unlike traditional biodiesel, renewable diesel meets global fuel standards and performs similarly to petroleum diesel. This means you can switch to renewable diesel without any engine modifications or changes to your fueling system. 

The Australian Government and several state programs, including in Victoria, are supporting the use of renewable fuels through funding and incentives. Programs like ARENA's Low Carbon Fuels initiative and future renewable fuel certification schemes are helping businesses transition to cleaner fuels. Climate Active also offers carbon-neutral certification for businesses reducing emissions, and Victoria’s Climate Change Strategy supports businesses adopting low-emissions energy solutions. These initiatives can assist with funding, certification, and emissions reporting as you transition to renewable diesel and biofuels.
