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.
The Energy Transformed Flagship is developing clean affordable energy and transport technologies for a sustainable future - the first steps towards a hydrogen economy.
Just weeks out from the Olympics, the CSIRO and its Chinese partners have officially launched a post-combustion capture (PCC) pilot plant in Beijing that strips carbon dioxide from power station flue gases in an effort to stem climate change.
A survey of more than 2000 households in Queensland, Victoria, NSW and South Australia has revealed that more than 75 per cent of Australians want to reduce energy consumption in the home and implement a rapid response to climate change.
The Climate Adaptation Flagship's planning, design, infrastructure, management and governance solutions are helping revitalise Australia’s cities and coasts in response to a changing climate.
As Australia grapples with reducing its greenhouse gas emissions AccuRate, a software package is helping building designers meet five-star standard requirements for energy efficiency.
The combination of modelling expertise, experimentally-based data and CSIRO software is helping to address ventilation and thermal issues in built environments. The technology is producing gains in energy efficiency and the health of indoor environment.
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 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)
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.
