Gas-fired power plants can keep energy reliable and affordable – but they should be used only when absolutely necessary.
Discover the urgent climate challenges facing the Indo-Pacific and the power of storytelling to drive meaningful climate action in this new “What Happens Next?” episode.
Enough time has been lost arguing “jobs versus climate” – the transition to renewable energy is now rightly understood as an economic opportunity, rather than a detrimental trade-off.
Second-generation biofuels made from agricultural residues, wood and plant waste support the shift to sustainable energy, but processing them still has its challenges.
Sustainable aviation fuel, made from non-petroleum feedstocks, is the most promising path to reducing aviation’s carbon footprint, but it’s not without its challenges.
Emissions pathways act as a map of the future, showing us how to get from where we are to where we want to be.
Hit cooking show MasterChef’s gas sponsorship deal has sparked accusations of greenwashing, and adds to a long tradition of normalising domestic gas consumption.
Cost-of-living increases, inflation, and energy prices affect everyone. And that matters even more when we’re amid a significant generational shift in voting patterns.
Any incentives for energy upgrades need to consider past experience to maximise uptake, prevent unintended consequences, and reduce the likelihood that such schemes will further entrench disadvantage.
Vietnam is poised to play a significant role in the Indo-Pacific region’s decarbonisation. Now is the time for Australia to strengthen its strategic relationship with the country, and the broader Southeast Asia region.
Australians want government to act on climate change, but not necessarily now, or in their neighbourhood. How can governments resolve this dilemma?
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.
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.
The world’s collective failure to adequately address climate change alters “the rules of the parenting game”.
Households and businesses are set for more hip-pocket pain after regulators flagged hefty electricity price rises in four Australian states.
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?
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.
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.
