The right time for real-time? Stakeholder perspectives on the role of temporal matching in renewable energy procurement in Australia
Amid mounting stakeholder pressure to decarbonise electricity consumption, corporate renewable electricity (RE) procurement has played a significant role in driving investment in RE capacity in the Global North. In recent years, the emergence of 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) contracting, championed by the United Nations 24/7 Carbon-free Energy Compact, and corporations such as Google and Microsoft, represents a more ambitious form of corporate RE…
How to support the adoption of open-source energy system modelling software? Insights from interviews with users and developers
Energy system models are important for decision-making and are commonly applied to questions related to the decarbonisation of the energy system, reducing the cost of supplying energy, and managing energy security. However, with this importance have come calls to open up energy system modelling to improve transparency, reproducibility, collaboration, and productivity. Despite this, in jurisdictions such as Australia, open-source energy system mod…

Typology of future clean energy communities
Can local government play a greater role for community renewable energy? A case study from Australia
Distributed energy storage in Australia
The fall (and rise) of carbon pricing in Australia
In April 2010, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced the deferral of his flagship climate-change policy, the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, after it twice failed to gain the support of the Australian Senate. The decision contributed to the curtailment of Rudd's premiership and confirmed climate change as one of the most toxic issues in Australian politics. Although deficits in policy design and structural obstacles caused by Australia's carbon-…
The limited role for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies in a sustainable Australian energy future
There is considerable debate regarding the potential role of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies in reducing Australia's greenhouse emissions. The latest climate change science suggests that major (60% or more by 2050), rapid (peaking within 20 years) cuts in global emissions may be required to avoid dangerous climate change. There are a number of existing abatement options including energy efficiency, various renewable energy technolog…
Photovoltaics research and development in Australia
Australia has had an active photovoltaic device research and development program for the past 30 years, with more sporadic interest shown in photovoltaic systems, components and markets. Exciting new developments continue to come out of Australian research laboratories, yet many are commercialized elsewhere and local deployment now lags behind that of many other countries. This paper examines past achievements, current research activities, resear…
