    Australia’s emissions challenge: Decarbonising electricity is not enough

    How well is Australia’s economy tracking to decarbonisation? The most recent update of Australia’s greenhouse gas inventory offers the opportunity to do two things. We can re-evaluate the emissions trajectory to 2030 and, as Australia’s inventory report is nearly 30 years old, extrapolate trends to form a view of business-as-usual emissions out to 2050. In […]

    Achieving our 2030 emissions reduction target: it’s all about energy

    Australia’s energy sector must be the source of the bulk of emissions reductions achieved through to 2030 if we are to reach our national target.

  • Could 2014 be the year of the battery?

    Could 2014 be the year of the battery?

    The growing role of renewables makes battery storage the best option for grid support and peak power supply. Australia, more than most, stands to benefit.

    Falling electricity demand: Has it changed the game on emissions?

    Energetics’ re-forecast of Australian emissions shows the impact of falling electricity consumption. But that doesn’t mean we can relax the 2020 target.
