Latest decarbonisation reports

Sectoral pathways modelling

We’ve modelled a suite of net zero emissions scenarios to inform the Climate Change Authority’s advice to the Australian Government.

Attitudes to the energy transition

We've conducted the most comprehensive and representative survey of Australian attitudes to the renewable energy transition and different types of renewable energy infrastructure.

Stage 1 Roadmap

Originally developed with Australia's Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and leading research institutions, Australia’s Global Power System Transformation (G-PST) Research Roadmap details the research required to support Australia's transition to a stable, secure and affordable power system.

Calculating the costs of net zero emissions

A new CSIRO report ‘Exploring climate risk in Australia’ asks what the financial implications might be if we delay the transition to net zero emissions.

Renewable energy technologies

Concentrated solar thermal

We are leading the way in concentrated solar thermal research, specialising in high-temperature central receiver systems.

Photovoltaics

Developing low-cost, environmentally friendly production methods to change how and where photovoltaic energy can be generated.

Low emissions technologies

Hydrogen

Hydrogen offers a low-emissions pathway with broad potential to help decarbonise the energy, transport and industrial sectors.

FutureFeed livestock feed

A livestock seaweed feed supplement could help global food security and fight climate change by reducing powerful greenhouse gas emissions.

Biomass and waste-to-energy

Developing our sustainable bioenergy capabilities to decarbonise the energy sector and reduce landfill.

Green metal production

A new sustainable process for metal production that reduces the need for fossil fuels and slashes carbon dioxide emissions.

Towards Net Zero Mission

Moving towards a low carbon economy

The Towards Net Zero Mission is working with Australian regions and industries to help them achieve net zero emissions and realise the opportunities of a low carbon economy.

Energy efficiency

BuildingIQ

Improving energy efficiency in buildings and saving on running costs.

AccuRate: energy efficiency

Software to help meet the energy-efficiency needs of house designs

Intelligent systems

Intelligent management of the way energy is used, transmitted and generated to reduce emissions and save money

Energy storage

Energy storage

We are developing next-generation energy storage technologies that use thermal energy, compressed air, hydrogen, batteries and ceramics to manage the storage, delivery and flow of electricity.

Renewable Energy Storage Roadmap

As Australia transitions to net zero, renewable energy storage is critical to ensure a secure, sustainable and affordable electricity supply.
