Australia's Energy Future - What's Possible?

Venue: Seminar Room, LAB14, 290

Presenters: Dr Sven Teske

How did the renewable energy forecasts match with real development? How did solar photovoltaic and wind power perform? What methodology for projections was most successful? The presentation will give some insights in practical examples.

Australia’s energy future - what’s possible? By 2030 we could have an electricity system that is 100% renewable, doubled our energy productivity and joined the global effort to prevent climate change. By 2050 our entire energy system, including industry and transport, could be powered by 100% renewable energy. This may sound implausible, but this could become a reality if we make the right decisions about investment.

Technical and economic scenarios for Australia’s future energy system have been developed. An energy model created by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), which has been the model more than 100 national and global energy scenarios, including for the German government and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was used. The seminar will provide an overview about the model, assumptions and key results.

Dr Sven Teske is a Research Principle at the Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology, Sydney.
