Verdant driving green hydrogen revolution
Verdant driving green hydrogen revolution In Australia, there are multiple hydrogen hubs being proposed by the various State Governments as well as broad reaching plans announced by the Federal Government in August 2022 as part of Australia’s National Hydrogen Strategy which is setting a vision for a clean, innovative, safe and competitive hydrogen industry that […]
The Staggering Costs of Achieving Net-Zero Emissions in Australia
In order to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, Australia will need to make some major changes. And, according to a new report from the Australian National University, those changes are going to come at a staggering cost. The report estimates that the price tag for achieving net-zero emissions in Australia by 2050 will be $5 […]
Bioenergy Roadmap Review. What does it mean for Australia?
Australia’s Bioenergy Roadmap Review is out. Designed to help inform future policy and investment decisions, the roadmap sets out a vision for a sustainable bioenergy industry that delivers lower emissions, regional growth, energy resilience and waste management benefits for Australia. So, what does it mean for us? The benefits for Australia According to the roadmap, […]
Biomass power for the Hunter
Biomass power for the Hunter seen as positive step to tackle climate change. “Hunter Energy Executive Forester, John Halkett, discusses biomass-based renewable energy in the Hunter Valley with The Hon Joel Fitzgibbon, MP for Hunter.“ THE conversion of the Redbank power station at Warkworth, NSW, near Singleton, to biomass energy will be a significant contributor […]
Use of woody biomass for energy
Campaigns questioning the use of woody biomass for energy are missing key facts says IEA Bioenergy. Some concurrent media campaigns and publications question the use of woody biomass for renewable energy production, but several of them misrepresent on-the-ground forestry practise and bioenergy systems. A common tactic is to associate the use of woody biomass for […]
Sorting the waste to energy mess
Sorting the waste to energy mess. TALKING RUBBISH: The Clean Energy Finance Corporation recently estimated a national pipeline of up to $7.8 billion in new investments in resource recovery, bioenergy and WTE in the period to 2025; employment benefits of up to 9,000 construction jobs, 2600 indirect jobs and as many as 1400 direct and […]
Biomass and baseload power: The reality of turning the electricity grid green
If ageing coal-fired and gas power stations are the ugly stepsisters of the electricity world, most renewables are the carriage that turns into a pumpkin after midnight (or as the sun goes down). We need more than hope and magic dust as we transition away from traditional fossil fuel generators to a new energy economy. […]
Green Hydrogen is the future
Green the new gold for investors: Why Green Hydrogen is the future of energy exportation. Green Hydrogen is the future. Hydrogen is unmistakably a colourless gas. So why is it regularly spoken of in a myriad of different colours? The ironic naming convention for hydrogen may seem trivial but it has vast implications for how […]
Hydrogen needs to take centre stage
Why hydrogen needs to take centre stage at COP26. Hydrogen needs to take centre stage. Hydrogen is likely to play a crucial role in the pursuit of energy transition over the coming years. However, the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow in November will be the acid test that determines whether […]
Carbon capture and low-carbon hydrogen
COP26: Carbon capture & storage and low-carbon hydrogen. For these vital net-zero technologies, the next five years will be critical. Carbon capture & storage (CCS) and low-carbon hydrogen have a pivotal role to play in meeting the challenge of a net-zero future. Yet despite project pipelines ballooning over the past year, confirmed future capacity is […]
