A new tool boosts the aim of providing a consistent accounting framework for measurement and tracking of the carbon emissions associated with hydrogen production.
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.
A recent research study sheds light on the challenges of Australia’s hydrogen transition and adoption plans in the face of shifting global dynamics.
Reaching 82% renewable energy share of the market by 2030 is admirable, but we’re underestimating how much electricity we’ll need to generate.
If we put green hydrogen plants next to green iron and steelmaking, we can clean up steelmaking, and boost the hydrogen industry.
Scientists have unlocked the secret of how a hydrogen gas-scavenging enzyme uses trace hydrogen in the air to create energy, opening the door to create devices that can produce energy.
If we’re to effectively tackle the critical challenge of climate change, we urgently need a better and more coordinated global transformation to environmentally-friendly economies.
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.
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?
On a new episode of Monash University’s ‘What Happens Next?’ podcast, discover how we can ensure our transition to a decarbonised future is just.
Proven technologies already exist to rapidly reduce methane emissions, and Australia is leading the world in developing new options – but we must act quickly.
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.
Green H2 fuel plays a vital role in arresting climate change, but it requires new engineering design and improvements – from production, storage, transportation and use – if we’re to meet carbon emission targets.
Vehicles of the future won’t just have batteries where the petrol tank used to be. They’ll also require a redesign of fundamental mechanical systems and their power dynamics.
Climate change has emerged as a major election issue for voters, but still the major parties are excluding it from their campaign platforms – at their peril.
Engineer Jeff Walker has been on a relentless search to find new and better ways to measure our planet’s health.
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.
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.
Electricity should be a main focus, but big improvements are also needed in transport, industry, agriculture and buildings.
Five years after the pivotal Paris Climate Accords, a new report looks beyond the numbers to ask what’s really happening in key countries – including Australia.
