Super-charged: how Australia’s biggest renewables project will change the energy game

Many Asian nations are shunning fossil fuels, presenting a huge opportunity for Australia’s renewables sector. And one massive project has stepped up to the plate.

Asia shuts the door on Australian energy exports

Thermal coal and gas export markets about to rapidly shrink as Asia leads net-zero emission coal and gas exits.

What is the electricity transmission system, and why does it need fixing?

Much has been said of the need to change the electricity generation mix, from mostly fossil fuels to mostly renewables, but our electricity transmission network must also be overhauled.

How green hydrogen can become cheap enough to compete with fossil fuels

The green hydrogen revolution is coming, and Australia is perfectly placed to take advantage of it, according to a new analysis of production costs.

Turning sunlight back into hydrogen

Remote parts of Australia could be the perfect places to use abundant solar energy to create hydrogen fuels for a range of next generation applications.

The misplaced idea of a gas-led recovery

The Prime Minister and his Energy Minister seem to believe in a gas led recovery but the evidence appears to point to a significant decline in gas usage in Australia over time.

Narrabri gas fields approval may increase energy prices

Australian gas consumers are likely to see higher, rather than lower gas prices if Santos’ Narrabri gas fields are approved due to the distance the gas must travel to reach consumers and the infrastructure that will need to be built.

A roadmap for renewables

Despite the Federal government’s fondness for gas, renewables can still play an important role in Australia’s energy plans for the future.

Angus Taylor’s tech roadmap is fundamentally flawed

The government’s latest energy plans are a failure of logic, and will lock in fossil fuel use for decades.

Investing in the future after COVID-19

Even the darkest cloud has a silver lining and COVID offers governments around the world an unprecedented opportunity to invest in a better future, not least by reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.

#Turn off the gas

Australia should adopt the WHO manifesto for a healthy recovery from Covid-19 to ensure we protect nature, ensure access to clean water, and make the transition to clean energy.

A battery powered opportunity

The shocking economic consequences of COVID-19 and the ever-growing US-China trade war, both considered as “serious” threats to Australia, could bring welcome changes to our battery industry, if we seize the opportunity.
