This report provides details of economic modelling using an Australian Energy Sector Model (ESM) to determine the potential outcomes of scenarios developed by the Energy Futures Forum and it is one of five reports supporting the final report of the EFF. (26 pages)
Piecing together the global energy puzzle - delivering energy solutions for a sustainable future is a huge challenge, but with decision support and by expanding the information-base for decision-making, this task becomes easier.
The impact of energy developments on air quality, land and water are significant. CSIRO monitors and mitigates these impacts, paving the way for an environmentally sustainable energy future.
CSIRO are proud sponsors of the Inaugural Symposium on Electrical Energy Evolution in China and Australia, to be held in Palm Cove, Queensland, at the end of July.
A new flow loop commissioned by CSIRO will help researchers find solutions to predict and control gas hydrates formation in offshore oil and gas production pipelines.
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 is seeking interest from members of the Victorian community to register their interest in partipating in a workshop. Being part of the workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to contribute their views about a topic of national significance.
CSIRO is using simulation modelling to predict the economic, environmental and social benefits of distributed energy to demonstrate its viability to stakeholders and the wider community.
We use ESM to determine the impact of potential future events, policies and technology breakthroughs on the uptake of new technologies in electricity generation and road transport.
CSIRO's urban infrastructure research skills and capabilities are focused on enhancing whole-of-life built environment performance while reducing our ecological footprint.
New plastics developed by CSIRO, Hanyang University Korea and the University of Texas have the potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and help purify water and CSIRO research leader Dr Anita Hill discusses this research in this vodcast. (2:20)
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)
Dr David Brockway, Chief of CSIRO Energy Technology, has enjoyed 25 years of energy-related research and development, technology transfer and commercialisation. He has a wide network of influential national and international relationships.
Ms Sonja Heyenga undertakes research into natural resource management with a focus on the development of decision support tools for policy design and planning.
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.
