Dousing the flame: why natural gas isn’t the economy-saving solution Australia needs

There’s been a lot of talk, especially from the Federal Government, about the role that gas will play in the country’s economic recovery from COVID-19. However, a new report from the Grattan Institute explores the uncomfortable truth that natural gas is not quite the economic solution we’ve been looking for, and that in fact, natural gas has only a finite role to play in Australia’s energy future.

Cloud computing: renewable forecasting by predicting cloud behaviour

As the amount of solar and wind generation in electricity networks increases, so does the need for accurate forecasting of the energy provided to the grid. Inaccurate estimates can have severe consequences for renewable energy companies, consumers and power supply. However, advanced weather modelling, which can predict the near-future behaviour of clouds, provides a solution. Energy spoke to Solcast CTO and co-founder, Dr Nick Engerer, about how high-tech cloud watching leads to renewable energy innovation.

The increasing role of analytics in managing disruption in energy and utilities

Data and analytics can enable the right decisions during times of disruption, such as extreme bushfires or a pandemic. 
This four-part series, Managing Disruption, will examine disruptions faced by the Australian energy and utilities industry – and the role analytics can play in lessening the impact.

Economics prove renewables are the future of energy generation

There’s no doubt that renewable energy is the way of the future, but often the cost of transitioning to clean energy sources presents a major roadblock for uptake of renewables. Now, a new report from CSIRO and AEMO has found unequivocally that renewables, like wind and solar, are the cheapest new sources of electricity generation in Australia– a third cheaper than previously estimated – and will remain the cheapest option for the foreseeable future.

Why hydrogen is the better battery

There’s been a slew of big battery announcements around the country in recent months, but is there a better way of ensuring continuity of supply in the renewable energy space? Andrew Horvath argues that green hydrogen can not only be a better battery, it can also potentially be a better fuel source for our soon-to-be stranded coal-fired power stations.

Where is bioenergy in the renewable energy conversation?

With the circular economy providing a real focus in Australia in 2021, it is critical that renewable energy takes its rightful place as a significant driver of the sustainable outcomes needed to drive that transition. It’s also important that bioenergy starts to become a serious part of the conversation around the renewable energy transition.
