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.

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.

CSIRO is partnering with China United Coalbed Methane Corporation Limited (CUCBM) on a A$10 million joint demonstration project that will store 2000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) underground in the Shanxi Province and extract methane for use as an energy source.

A new web-based smart metering system has been developed by CSIRO to enable householders, small businesses and electricity retailers to remotely control energy use over a broadband Internet connection.

This conference will cover a wide range of technical issues - from how hydrogen is safely produced, stored, transported and utilised to broader topics such as environment, education and regulatory developments.

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.

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

CSIRO has world class solar cooling expertise and state-of-the-art test facilities.

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