Australia has a lot of wind and sun, but will we actually become a world leader in renewable energy generation?
- Chief economist, CSIRO energy, CSIRO
The latest estimates of electricity generation costs in Australia find renewables will soon be the cheapest even with grid integration expenses.
A new report from CSIRO outlines four pathways for Australia to hit our Paris climate targets, and get cheaper energy at the same time.
A new report predicts a boom in household solar and batteries as Australia’s electricity networks move to a more sustainable footing, with some states poised for a 500% boost in rooftop solar.
The need to urgently reduce greenhouse gas emissions is a major challenge to cheap electricity.
Updated forecasts from CSIRO suggest electricity prices will continue to rise as more renewable energy enters the grid.
By 2030 renewable energy sources such as solar and wind will cost a similar amount to fossils fuels such as coal and gas, thanks to falling technology costs
Models, forecasts, scenario projections … they’re all viewed with a certain degree of scepticism. And, for the most part, rightly so – we’ll never know the future with complete certainty. But what modelling…
Air travel is considered to be one of the most energy-intensive industries in the world, and fastest-growing emissions contributors. But Australia could have a flourishing bio-derived aviation fuels industry…
