Melbourne launch of the Zero Carbon Australia Stationary Energy Plan.
This cutting-edge plan, the culmination of over 12 months and thousands of hours of pro bono work by engineers, scientists and postgraduate students, is a collaboration between the climate solutions think tank Beyond Zero Emissions, and the University of Melbourne Energy Institute.
This plan is unique in Australia. It is a detailed and costed blueprint for transitioning our stationary energy sector to 100% renewable energy in ten years. The technologies utilised in this plan are commercially available now. It has been put together in a collaborative way involving over 50 technical experts.
This free public lecture will cover the details of the plan as well as the state of renewable energy in Australia more broadly. A panel discussion will follow the presentations.
The details of the event are:
Wednesday 14 July, 6-8pm
Basement Theatre, The Spot
198 Berkeley St, Carlton
Speakers:
John Daley (CEO, Grattan Institute)
