Jets are at the prototype stage. (Destinus, Czechoslovakia) >
Positioning Australian Industry to Prosper in the Future
Heavy industry in Australia could decarbonise, help limit warming to 1.5 degrees and create up to 1.35 million jobs: new report outlines pathways... 'Positioning Australian industry to prosper in a net zero global economy’, was prepared for the Australian Industry ETI by Climateworks and CSIRO, in consultation with industry and research partners'. (Climateworks Centre, Melbourne) >
Critical minerals for Green Energy
Critical minerals are a once-in-a-century opportunity for Australia. 'Australia can be a 21st-century green energy superpower. Climate change provides the imperative; our vast renewable energy and mineral resources provide the opportunity.' (Grattan Institute, Melbourne) >
Hydrogen Straight from Seawater
How to make hydrogen straight from seawater – no desalination required. 'Researchers have developed a cheaper and more energy-efficient way to make hydrogen directly from seawater, in a critical step towards a truly viable green hydrogen industry.' (RMIT University , Melbourne) >
