Bandung, 9-11 February 2026

Australia - Indonesia
Sustainable Fuels Symposium

The Australia–Indonesia Sustainable Fuels (AISF) Symposium will be held in Bandung, Indonesia from 9–11 February 2026, co-organised by UNSW Sydney, the University of Adelaide, and Institut Teknologi Bandung, with the support of industry partners including NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub and Jangjo Indonesia, and funded by the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Australia-Indonesia Institute.

Australia and Indonesia share a common vision of transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy through innovative solutions such as biofuels and e-fuels. Building on Australia’s strength in e-fuels research and Indonesia’s expertise in biofuels, the symposium will foster knowledge transfer, capacity building, and business engagement across both nations.

The program will feature two key components:

We look forward to welcoming you to Bandung in February 2026 for this exciting opportunity to strengthen Australia–Indonesia cooperation and accelerate the global transition to sustainable fuels.

Kind regards,

Sustainable Fuels Summer School

The Sustainable Fuels Summer School will provide a unique opportunity for students, researchers, and practitioners to deepen their understanding of the emerging sustainable fuels technologies, techno-economics analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) approaches essential for evaluating sustainable fuels development. Guided by leading experts, the program will equip participants with the tools to assess the technological, environmental and economic viability of sustainable fuels as part of the transition toward a low-carbon future.

The workshops will combine lectures, interactive discussions, and case studies, offering a strong foundation in both theoretical and applied aspects of TEA and LCA. In addition, the program will feature poster presentations by students and researchers, providing a platform to share innovative findings, exchange knowledge, as well as to network and cultivate new professional contacts.
