A new federal government strategy outlines how to elevate the rights of Indigenous Australians
Efforts to reduce emissions and decarbonise industry must be combined with new technology that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Australia can build an industry around this service.
New research examining how net-zero announcements from the US, UK, and China affected global financial markets could help forecast what the future may hold, if the US pulls back on its commitments.
A technique known as “enhanced rock weathering” promises to remove billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere. But it’s crucial to be able to measure how much CO₂ is captured.
As Australia’s domestic reliance on coal falls, our exports are bigger than ever – and new coal approvals suggest this won’t change soon.
Many of Australia’s offshore oil and gas projects have finished. Wells need to be plugged; steel structures and pipelines removed. There’s A$60 billion worth of work to be done in coming decades.
Energy storage really is the special sauce that makes renewables work anytime, anywhere – and everywhere. This makes the most of the existing electricity network, including transmission lines.
We’re well on the road to net zero by 2050. Now a new report from Australia’s independent Climate Change Authority provides pathways for each sector of the economy. Let’s get on with it.
Choosing speed above all else gets clean energy built. But it comes with risks. Which path should Australia take?
Australia desperately needs skilled workers and materials to build transmission infrastructure and keep the energy transition on track.
A new report reveals Australia’s fossil fuel exports threaten the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C
You’ve probably heard the arguments against electric cars, but most of them are getting weaker as the technology, markets and infrastructure mature.
Small modular reactors promise to make nuclear power cheaper and safer. But our new report shows they’re still a long way off.
Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a new way to firm up the world’s electricity grids - and they could be a game-changer.
Fortescue has long taken first mover risks to drive attention and action in the renewable hydrogen market. This week’s news is a setback, but shouldn’t be seen as a death knell for the nascent industry.
