CSIRO works with industry, government and the research community to turn science into solutions across six research areas: Energy and Minerals, Food and Fibre, From Wonder to Discovery, Nature, One Health and Tech Economy. We also steward research infrastructure on behalf of the nation and provide an important connecting role between science and society.
Our energy mission is for Australia to lead the world in the development of technologies and knowledge creation that drive low-cost electrification and decarbonisation of our major industries and exports in a competitive low-carbon global economy.
Our energy research and collaborations are multi-disciplinary and focused across the following key areas:
- Electricity Transition - Electrification using renewables is essential to decarbonising Australia’s energy sector. Accelerating how we do this to deliver reliable, affordable and safe electricity, provides time for hard-to-abate sectors to respond. Read how we are working to accelerate the electricity transition
- Decarbonising Industry and Transport - Complex, challenging and more than electrification. Our research is helping these sectors achieve emission goals through integrating low carbon solutions. Find out more about our industry and transport research
- Carbon Management Technologies - Achieving net-zero emissions will require affordable and secure technologies at scale to manage historic emissions as well as those generated in hard to abate sectors. Discover more on our carbon management research
Our capabilities and facilities
Insights into our current energy research capabilities, how and why we do it, and the impact we are helping deliver are presented interactively in the CSIRO book, see Energy and Minerals research. Updates to this information is made on a regular basis.
Our energy research infrastructure is located across Australia and is essential for scientific advancement, technology adoption and delivering on the nation's science ambitions.
It supports collaboration across research, industry and community sectors and attracts strong national and international partnerships. Learn more about our energy research facilities
