The Energy Transformed Flagship is developing clean affordable energy and transport technologies for a sustainable future - the first steps towards a hydrogen economy.

The National Research Flagships Program is one of the largest scientific initiatives ever mounted in Australia. Clusters, which are the main element of the Flagship Collaboration Fund offer opportunities for collaborations in areas of national importance.

1973 was the year that Pink Floyd released Dark Side of the Moon and Are You Being Served? made its television debut. It was long before the words “climate change” became headline news. It was also the year that CSIRO’s Sustainable Energy Advisor, Dr John Wright – who is retiring next week – joined the organisation as a research scientist in the Sydney laboratories of the then Division of Mineral Chemistry.

Wide-scale adoption of low-emission distributed energy could reduce the cost of transitioning to a low-carbon future by as much a $130 billion by 2050, according to a new report released today by CSIRO.

This conference will cover a wide range of technical issues - from how hydrogen is safely produced, stored, transported and utilised to broader topics such as environment, education and regulatory developments.

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

The CSIRO Energy Transformed Flagship is undertaking a comprehensive research program to enable large-scale, economical production of second-generation biofuels that could pave the way for a sustainable future for road, rail, air and water transport.

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

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

We use the Energy Sector Model to determine the impact of potential future events, policies and technology breakthroughs on the uptake of new technologies in electricity generation and transport.

Take a tour of CSIRO’s state-of-the-art Energy Centre and see why it sets the benchmark in ecologically sustainable design. (11:33)

This video shows how a new computer modelling system, NEMsim, developed by CSIRO is helping bidders, investors and market regulators in the electricity market to make the right decisions. (1:00)

The CSIRO Energy Centre provides a focal point for research in sustainable energy, the environmental impacts of energy and environmentally acceptable fossil fuel research and development.

Interested in social change and the environment, Ms Simone Carr-Cornish has contributed to a range of projects that specialise in understanding how people are responding to climate change and ways of engaging with the community.

Farming Ahead magazine regularly features CSIRO's research for the agricultural sector. This is a list of CSIRO articles published in the magazine throughout 2010.

This article from Farming Ahead contains three stories on the electric vehicle revolution, a detailed Digital Elevation Model of Australia’s topography, a Hendra virus breakthrough. (1 page)

Greater and more widespread impacts are expected when global warming passes 2 °C above pre-Industrial levels, so understanding how the risk changes at that point can help inform negotiations on emission reduction targets.

CSIRO is researching the impact and benefits of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on the electricity network, and how this low emission transport option could be integrated into our homes and cities in the future. (2 pages)
