The event has prompted questions about the reliability of the state’s electricity grid. But it’s important to note these extreme winds would have seriously disrupted any power system.
A new tool boosts the aim of providing a consistent accounting framework for measurement and tracking of the carbon emissions associated with hydrogen production.
If we put green hydrogen plants next to green iron and steelmaking, we can clean up steelmaking, and boost the hydrogen industry.
Capping the wholesale gas price is a poor attempt to decouple the domestic market from the volatile international market. The only sure way forward is a domestic reservation policy for the east coast.
Households and businesses are set for more hip-pocket pain after regulators flagged hefty electricity price rises in four Australian states.
After a decade of climate wars, Australia is suddenly united, with state, territory and federal governments aiming for net zero by 2050 for the first time.
We assessed 187 ASX200 companies – together they produce 32% of Australia’s operational emissions. Much of the action promised will come too late to avert catastrophic global warming.
The Andrews government has signalled a major shakeup of Victoria’s energy sector. But is it enough to bring the state’s energy prices down and reduce emissions?
In what is the first COP since Labor took office in May this year, there are positive signs of Australia picking up its game on climate policy.
The first Labor budget in nine years, delivered against a grim economic backdrop, contains few surprises as it charts Australia's way through uncertain times and high-cost hazards.
Australia’s enormous renewable energy resources could be the perfect match to meet the relative dearth of renewable energy and zero-carbon power fuels in the boreal winter.
Five key policy moments have contributed to the power crisis engulfing Australia.
This year’s election results show Australians are eager for fast action on climate change. Here are four ways our new prime minister can deliver energy reform to meet emission targets.
Neither Scott Morrison nor Anthony Albanese has so far impressed with strong leadership skills – but the Labor leader may offer a different style of leadership that might suit the times.
We should welcome all options that enable low-carbon hydrogen to play a role in decarbonising our energy systems, and stop focusing on colour-coding production methods.
To ensure hydrogen meets the goals of sustainable production, life cycle assessment and net energy analyses should be integrated with project planning to inform decision-making.
How machine learning can play a key role in combating fake news.
Researchers have devised a method of producing green ammonia with the potential to supersede the current century-old process.
Unlike, for instance, lawnmowers, you don’t just “plug in” a bus to a regular outlet – the charging equipment is sophisticated, extensive, and expensive.
The transport sector is Australia’s second-largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. To reach net zero, we need to change modes of transport, infrastructure, and the design of our cities.
To supercharge the climate fight, we need to mitigate the environmental and financial impact of producing lithium-ion technology, and develop lower-carbon batteries.
Australia’s climate policy can learn much from our experience of COVID-19, as it’s a case study in the importance of swift collective action during a global crisis.
Electricity should be a main focus, but big improvements are also needed in transport, industry, agriculture and buildings.
Limiting global warming to 1.5°C is increasingly the “new norm”, but what does it mean for Australian state, territory, and corporate climate commitments?
