How can its energy systems transition to become climate-smart, to withstand extreme weather, while also protecting social and economic priorities?
When it was founded 80 years ago, the World Bank was a very different organisation than today, and it depended on “sound” recipients such as Australia to establish itself as a player in the field of international development.
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.
It’s still possible for Australia to cut emissions in line with holding climate change to 1.5°C, but only if we act quickly and seize the enormous opportunities offered in fast decarbonisation.
This new war with Israel will provide no solution to the deeply-rooted problems of Gaza. Instead, it’s destined to exacerbate the terrible situation of Gaza’s residents.
Reaching 82% renewable energy share of the market by 2030 is admirable, but we’re underestimating how much electricity we’ll need to generate.
There’s more to the kingdom’s nuclear ambitions than becoming a civilian nuclear energy powerhouse and exporter.
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.
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?
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.
Although the clock’s running out, Australia has no agreed policymaking framework for our unique renewable energy transition issues, and little in the way of budget support.
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.
Seal it up? Open it up? Air quality is a growing concern for Australian households, and the gap between energy advice and health advice leaves many people confused.
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.
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 Citarum River in Indonesia is the focus of a revitalisation project, and a Monash University cross-faculty team has been called on to help make it happen.
The use of air purifiers is on the rise, but the energy sector is yet to consider what the uptake might mean for household energy use and our decarbonisation goals.
A multi-city research collaboration aims to provide cheap oxygen conversion units to save lives in village hospitals.
Australia has abundant wind and solar resources to provide large quantities of cost-competitive green hydrogen. A new tool can show the way forward.
If the energy market reform roadmap released by the Energy Security Board in September is to succeed, it needs to focus more on consumer outcomes.
The lessons from pursuing coal seam gas are helping us improve on a form of renewable energy also found underground – geothermal.
COVID-19’s global supply chain disruption opens the door for Australia to take more control of the lithium manufacturing process that produces electric vehicle batteries.
