Australia has committed to achieving a 43 per cent reduction in 2005-level emissions, 82 per cent of electricity supplied from renewable sources by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050. Engineering is fundamental to achieving that goal and to avoid the catastrophic effects of global warming.
For Accelerating the energy transition, Australia's great thinkers, disruptors and innovators share how to move to a sustainable and net zero economy.
