Energy

Helping Australia move to a clean, secure energy future and maximise the wealth from our resources.

Your carbon footprint

Helping Australians save energy and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Powering transport

Finding alternative fuels and energy technologies for the transport sector.

Energy from coal

Developing coal technologies for Australia and the world.

Renewables and smart systems

Researching solar, wind and geothermal technologies and energy control systems.

Energy from oil and gas

Securing Australia's energy future with new oil and gas technologies.

Australia’s growth and way of life is underpinned by access to affordable and sustainable energy sources for electricity and transport.
 
To secure our energy future, it is imperative that we move quickly to address the significant challenges of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and developing scientific solutions that will ensure Australia’s long term economic, environmental and social well being.
 
There is no single solution that will solve the energy puzzle. To meet future energy demand and protect our environment we will we need a mix of existing and new technologies, and will require significant shifts in the way we live and work.
 
Working in collaboration with industry, research organisations and government, CSIRO is committed to developing cost-competitive, low-emission energy technologies and helping mark out a pathway to a clean, viable and secure energy future.
