A campaign fought on climate and energy might benefit the Greens and the Teal independents – but the prevailing state of the economy will determine their ability to capitalise.
The Coalition’s nuclear plan is an unwelcome proposal which will slow the energy transition and increase our dependence on gas – a surefire way to drive up energy bills.
Emotions help shape opinion on energy sources. Understanding this can allow us to design better zero-carbon policies.
Offshore wind power can play a starring role in Australia’s future energy mix. It sure beats nuclear and coal, offering advantages in scale, availability and proximity to both users and the grid.
Going nuclear in Australia would mean overcoming a set of almost impossible obstacles, from legal to financial, regulatory and workforce.
Hybrid vehicles are having a real moment in Australia and overseas. The problem is, they’re not as clean as we think.
For years, the ‘duck curve’ of low daytime demand due to cheap solar power has challenged energy planners. California is showing the solution is storage.
A nationally owned energy company could help the UK towards its net-zero goals but on its own the plan won’t be enough to provide long-term security.
In a big-target strategy, characterised by a truck load of negativity, as well as laced with a dash of policy adventurism, Peter Dutton is taking the Liberals right back to Tony Abbott’s days.
Costing new sources of electricity sounds simple. But it’s enormously complicated – and CSIRO’s GenCost report promises certainty it cannot deliver
Without Japanese public funding, Australia’s LNG boom would have slowed
Opposition energy spokesman Ted O'Brien and the Coalition the 43% by 2030 is unachievable and see to be saying they would just ignore the target.
Only 5% of South Africa’s energy comes from solar power while 85% is generated from coal. Loans, more subsidies and security for rooftop solar panels need to be put in place.
As renewable energy becomes cheaper and climate change affects water availability, the contribution of hydropower will decline.
South Africa’s state-owned Central Energy Fund has paid five US cents, or one rand, for a huge oil refinery that isn’t in working condition. The public may have to foot the bill to clear up oil leaks.
Environmentalists have long been sceptical of carbon capture and storage, which began in the oil and gas industry. But there’s nothing else like it for storing emissions from industry.
Oil and gas company Santos has been fined millions for breaches of record-keeping. Here’s why
No, it’s not a problem that some renewable power doesn’t make it to the grid. Here’s why
The Net Zero Economy Authority will have a broad remit to support the net zero transition. Here are some pointers on how it could go about it, based on an assessment of best practice
