We are playing an essential role in researching and developing technologies to achieve the objective of near zero emissions from the use of energy worldwide.
An advanced electricity network, which uses distributed energy resources – local, low emission and renewable power – is the vision of a national, collaborative research cluster for Australia’s future energy supply.
The formation of an international Working Group of electricity energy experts was announced last week at the conclusion of the Inaugural Symposium on Electrical Energy Evolution in China and Australia, in Palm Cove, Queensland.
The conference is aimed at gathering together the experts in Asia-Pacific and Australasia who are contributing to the impact of embedded generation, energy efficiency and small scale Renewables from both a technology and policy viewpoint.
CSIRO has scientific capabilities and skills critical for progress towards the hydrogen economy, which may offer a path to a sustainable energy future for Australia.
CSIRO is developing a broad range of tools to assist governments and industry revitalise Australia’s cities, meet emerging challenges and transition to a sustainable configuration.
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)
This video raises issues surrounding low emission distributed generation systems and how they will challenge our ideas about energy supply and where we generate power. (0:30)
Mr Terry Jones’ 25 years of experience in the utilities industry globally is contributing to CSIRO’s efforts to develop and implement large scale low emissions distributed energy generation in Australia.

When it comes to motors, energy efficiency refers to the amount of useful work done by a motor for the amount of energy it consumes. Here we explain how efficiency is calculated.
Post combustion capture (PCC), a process that captures CO2 from power station flue gases, is a key technology with the potential to substantially reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of existing and future coal power stations.
