Consolidated Oil & Cattle

Consolidated Oil & Cattle brings together energy, agriculture, and advanced technology to deliver integrated solutions across fuel, food, and industrial capability.

As a division of Cattle Corporation—part of the Sharpe Family Office with a legacy spanning more than 225 years—we operate at the intersection of traditional industry and next-generation innovation.

Our focus is clear: build sovereign capability while advancing scalable, low-emissions energy and agricultural systems.

We develop and invest in oil, diesel, and petroleum storage and logistics, supporting secure and resilient fuel supply chains. This includes advancing large-scale storage solutions such as underground salt cavern storage, a globally proven approach for strategic fuel reserves offering enhanced safety, scale, and long-term energy security.

Next-Generation Fuels & Industrial Decarbonisation
We are actively engaged in the research, development, and deployment of emerging fuels and energy systems, including:

• Biofuels from agricultural feedstocks and waste streams
• Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) to support the decarbonisation of aviation and defence mobility
• Hydrogen production and integration into industrial processes
• Green ammonia as a transportable energy carrier and critical input for agriculture

Our SAF initiatives are focused on developing scalable production pathways—leveraging biomass, waste, and synthetic fuel technologies—to meet growing demand from both commercial aviation and allied defence sectors.

Biochar & Regenerative Agriculture
Through the production of biochar, we enhance soil carbon, improve water retention, and increase pasture productivity. This creates a circular system where agricultural outputs support fuel production, and energy systems contribute back to land performance and sustainability.

Advanced Industry & Strategic Capability
Our work extends into high-value industrial sectors, including active engagement in the nuclear industry across the AUKUS alliance. We contribute to the development of sovereign industrial capability, advanced supply chains, and research partnerships aligned with long-term national and allied security objectives.

We work alongside leading universities, research institutions, and industry partners across Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

These collaborations enable us to:

• Accelerate commercialisation of advanced fuels including SAF
• Integrate cutting-edge research into operational infrastructure
• Build trusted, allied supply chains across energy and agriculture

Our approach bridges the gap between research and real-world deployment, ensuring technologies move beyond concept into production.

Consolidated Oil & Cattle combines:

• Deep agricultural capability
• Energy infrastructure development
• Advanced engineering and research partnerships

We focus on delivering practical, scalable projects that strengthen regional economies, support industry, and enhance energy and food security.

Our standards are set from the experience of the Sharpe Family which can trace its roots back across eleven generations building with Australia since 1799. The commitment to service, the drive for innovation, and the positive impact they continue to have on the Australian community are our benchmarks. 

Global demand for sustainable fuels—particularly SAF, hydrogen, and low-emissions liquid fuels—is accelerating rapidly.

Consolidated Oil & Cattle is a leader in this transition by developing integrated platforms that connect agriculture, energy production, and industrial capability across Australia and allied markets.

We are not just responding to change—we are helping build the systems that will define the next generation of energy and industry.
