What if the jet fuel powering your next flight was made from timber scraps or farm waste and produced right here in Australia?
With oil prices spiking due to Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the CSIRO's Dr Daniel Roberts explains what making sustainable aviation fuel could do for our fuel security – and why he thinks the cost of doing nothing is “terrifying”.

Iran’s blockage of the Strait of Hormuz has halted about 20% of the world’s oil, along with other products like the nitrogen fertiliser urea, sending prices soaring.
Today, the Gippsland Monitor’s Jacob Wallace explains how two-thirds of Australia’s urea comes from the Persian Gulf, and what that means for Aussie farmers.
Jacob said farmers are either skipping fertilising paddocks for a season, hedging their bets that prices will come down by next season to make up for it, or switching to alternatives.
