    The Energy Group aims to develop and apply leading-edge energy research that meets Australian needs.

Events

 
  • 2008 Malcolm McIntosh Lecture

    Attend the lecture 'THE SUN- Our Energy Future' to find out more about solar thermal power and new technology concepts emerging in Australia.

  • Close up image showing a section of a Direct Coal Injection Engine

    The Direct Injection Coal Engine and the Direct Carbon Fuel Cell are small, efficient and sustainable coal-based generation systems that provide a complimentary technology to large-scale carbon capture and storage technologies.

  • Solar and wind energy

    CSIRO is conducting research to overcome the challenges of intermittency, storage and dispatch of electricity generated from solar and wind energy.

  • Image shows a power station in operation with stacks billowing smoke and high voltage power lines on the site.
The image is shown in silhouette against the sky at sunset.

    CSIRO researchers are providing a glimpse into the future of Australia’s energy industry through our work in modeling and scenario analysis.

  • An energy efficient building with a solar panel and rammed earth walls.

    The combination of modelling expertise, experimentally-based data and CSIRO software is helping to address ventilation and thermal issues in built environments. The technology is producing gains in energy efficiency and the health of indoor environment.
