Australia currently consumes about 25 billion litres of diesel annually through the mining industry, road transportation and electricity generation for remote communities which presentins a significant cost and carbon footprint. A small reduction of say 2.5% in diesel consumption nationwide by improving engine performance and energy efficiency can result in more than $0.5 billion in savings and a reduction of 1.75 million tonnes in greenhouse gas emission annually. The homogeneous combustion catalysts, to be developed in this research for direct doping into diesel supply system, will help realise these objectives and contribute to the development of an environmentally sustainable Australia.

目前，澳大利亚每年通过采矿业、道路运输和偏远社区发电消耗约 250 亿升柴油，这带来了巨大的成本和碳足迹。通过提高发动机性能和能源效率，将全国柴油消耗量小幅减少（例如 2.5%），每年可节省超过 5 亿美元，并减少 175 万吨温室气体排放。本研究将开发用于直接掺杂到柴油供应系统中的均相燃烧催化剂，将有助于实现这些目标，并为澳大利亚环境可持续发展做出贡献。
