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

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.

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.

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.

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.

CSIRO has commissioned a report that identifies technical barriers to widespread embedded generation (EG) within electricity distribution networks. This one-day technical workshop is an opportunity to discuss the key findings of the report and identify the next steps towards understanding how to manage networks with EG.

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

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

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.
