For years, major organizations like the IEA, IRENA, BNEF, the Hydrogen Council and CSIRO have been projecting future costs for hydrogen electrolysis systems and the future cost of green hydrogen that don’t stand up to scrutiny. As a result, their projections of future costs increase every year, yet real-world data … [continued]
New SMR technology or not, researchers have thrown cold water on the idea of launching the nuclear energy industry into Australia.
In a rare move, CSIRO has defended itself against attacks by Australia’s conservative politicians and the Rupert Murdock media. The fossil fuel focused are reacting to the latest CSIRO GenCost report, which reaffirms yet again that renewables are the cheapest form of electricity generation. CSIRO is Australia’s premier science and … [continued]
Researchers in Australia say their latest falling particle CSP technology can store heat up to 803 degrees C for 15 hours.
On July 11, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm and Australia’s Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen signed the Australia–United States Net-Zero Technology Acceleration Partnership at the Sydney Energy Forum. The partnership will accelerate the development and deployment of zero-emissions technology, including long-duration energy storage, integration of renewable … [continued]
A recent report from CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) in collaboration with AEMO (Australian Energy Market Operator) has conclusively shown that solar and wind continue to be the cheapest ways to generate electricity. The report also includes the costs of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the future … [continued]
Green hydrogen from renewable sources has the capability to help lower carbon emissions from shipping as well as many industrial applications such as steel and cement making.
Just imagine how much solar electricity could be generated around the world if all the windows in factories and office towers helped to power the buildings they were installed in. Researchers in Australia are hot on the trail of a new technology that could make solar windows a reality.
Researchers in Australia have devised a new MOF filter that could greatly speed up lithium production from brine pools and have lower costs.
Phase 1 of the Tesla 250 MW virtual power plant proposal has been completed, with the results showing the residential storage batteries can do just as good a job as stabilizing the grid and providing power during periods of peak demand as larger grid scale battery installations.
