eFuture is a web-based modelling tool that allows users to explore Australia’s energy future using a number of scenarios based on technology costs, electricity demand and fuel prices.  

eFuture helps people learn more about the future of energy in Australia and the numerous factors that will impact what this future looks like.

Important questions for Australia’s future energy mix:

• Will the demand for electricity be high or low?
• What is the fuel price?
• Will the cost of energy technologies including solar, coal and geothermal be high or low?

The tool depicts the future scenarios in a series of charts that allow the user to see the changes in Australia’s electricity costs, technology mix and carbon emissions through to 2050.

eFuture is a snapshot of CSIRO’s complex economic and technology modelling research that is used by government and industry to help inform decisions around energy investment and policy.

Tools such as eFuture help us to understand just some of the choices industry and government faces when planning for our energy future.
