BLUF

Australia’s fuel system is fragile—long disruptions would outlast stockpiles. Domestic conversion options could help sustain transport and essential services, reduce exposure to imports, and reshape national resilience during prolonged crises.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand how fuel dependence shapes operational endurance and national resilience.
  • Assess how domestic energy conversion could reduce strategic risk during prolonged disruption.
  • Recognise the link between logistics protection, fuel supply, and freedom of action for the ADF and RAAF.
