The transition to net zero emissions is under grave threat if governments do not do more to address the potential unfairness of some climate policies.
The 1909 incident may have cost the industry decades of progress – and the planet huge amounts of damaging carbon emissions.
Rather than paying ageing power stations to stay open in the transition to renewable energy, demand flexibility is cheaper and cleaner way to ensure the system has enough capacity.
The Biden Administration’s signature climate legislation is unleashing a wave of clean energy investment, along with some opportunities and risks for countries like Australia.
Despite the meteoric rise of wind and solar, fossil energy sources have met most new demand in fast-growing economies.
Wealthier people are getting their solar panels connected first, leaving a more congested grid for everyone else.
The sunniest days also see the biggest demand for air con.
A new study shows we can maximise the benefits of green roofs and rooftop solar systems by putting them together on the one roof.
Solar panels in space could harness more of the Sun’s energy.
New research has found that bats avoid solar farms – but the findings should not hinder the transition to renewable energy.
It’s 2023 and residents in remote First Nations communities still suffer from regular power disconnections. The fix is simple: put solar on every roof. But there are challenges to overcome first.
The need to limit output to the grid costs solar panel owners up to $4.5 million a year in South Australia alone. A bill of rights and responsibilities can make connecting to the grid fairer for all.
Community batteries are popular. But that doesn’t mean they’re always the right tool for the job. We have to make sure they do what we want them to do
Solar power is growing at 20% a year. That simple fact could change the world for the better in under a decade
A new generation of flexible solar cells has been pioneered using a material known as perovskite.
Solar thermal technology has the potential to provide both long-duration storage and industrial heat, yet it has been largely overlooked in the Australian context. That is about to change.
Very little attention has been paid to the justice implications of electricity distribution.
Deciding on the best system isn’t a simple matter. There’s a bewildering array of jargon to sift through and many elements to consider.
Installing enough solar panels and battery storage to see a household through a week without sunshine isn’t yet financially possible.
