Centre for Energy and Materials
The Centre for Energy and Materials is driving initiatives and coalitions to ensure the energy transition is sustainable, secure, resilient and affordable.
Oberon Fuels develops carbon-neutral fuels for hard-to-abate sectors including shipping, aviation, chemicals and propane. Its portfolio includes renewable dimethyl ether (DME), methanol, hydrogen and natural gas. The company’s first production facility – the Maverick plant in Brawley, California – paved the way for two additional US-based sites expected to reach final investment decision in 2026. Oberon’s approach combines scalable technology, rural job creation and cross-sector partnerships to accelerate the transition to sustainable fuels and strengthen energy security.
