This picture shows the front of the CSIRO Energy Centre and the array of organic photovoltaic cells that line the front of the building.

We are playing an essential role in researching and developing technologies to achieve the objective of near zero emissions from the use of energy worldwide.

  • Great Ocean Road

    Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies have the potential to make deep cuts in Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power stations. CSIRO is working to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of CCS so it is a viable option for our energy future.

  • Image shows man at computer using a modelling programme.

    Piecing together the global energy puzzle - delivering energy solutions for a sustainable future is a huge challenge, but through modelling future energy needs and impacts, and by expanding the information-base for decision-making, this task becomes easier.

Events

 
  • 2008 Malcolm McIntosh Lecture

    Attend the lecture 'THE SUN- Our Energy Future' to find out more about solar thermal power and new technology concepts emerging in Australia.

  • Yellow-coloured drop of oil

    CSIRO has identified potential new science and technology developments that may improve the cost and viability of coal to liquids in a greenhouse gas-constrained environment.

  • Overhead powerlines.

    CSIRO is finding ways to intelligently manage the way energy is used, transmitted and generated to reduce emissions, minimise energy consumption and save money.

  • Image shows a power station in operation with stacks billowing smoke and high voltage power lines on the site.
The image is shown in silhouette against the sky at sunset.

    CSIRO researchers are providing a glimpse into the future of Australia’s energy industry through our work in modeling and scenario analysis.

  • An energy efficient building with a solar panel and rammed earth walls.

    The combination of modelling expertise, experimentally-based data and CSIRO software is helping to address ventilation and thermal issues in built environments. The technology is producing gains in energy efficiency and the health of indoor environment.
