  • Wind turbine

    CSIRO’s Energy Transformed Flagship aims to lower greenhouse gas emissions by providing sustainable, efficient, cost-effective energy solutions.

  • Scientist using microscope.

    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.

  • Two researchers looking at a projected image of injected carbon dioxide plumes from deep underground

    CSIRO is partnering with China United Coalbed Methane Corporation Limited (CUCBM) on a A$10 million joint demonstration project that will store 2000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) underground in the Shanxi Province and extract methane for use as an energy source.

  • CSIRO Project Leader, Dr Martin de Groot, holding a fuse.

    A new web-based smart metering system has been developed by CSIRO to enable householders, small businesses and electricity retailers to remotely control energy use over a broadband Internet connection.

Events

 
  • Overhead powerlines.

    CSIRO is finding ways to intelligently manage the way energy is used, transmitted and generated to reduce emissions, minimise energy consumption and save money.

  • High rise building

    CSIRO is developing technologies and tools to control how energy is used, managed and generated in buildings, offices and homes.

  • 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.

  • Electricity infrastructure power lines.

    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.

  • A hybrid electric vehicle fitted with UltraBattery technology.

    The UltraBattery is an advanced energy storage system with applications for hybrid electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. The technology will be commercially available in the automotive and motive power sectors in 2009.

  • Artist impression of the new solar tower Brayton Cycle demonstration field at CSIRO's National Solar Energy Centre.
