Wind Energy

We are playing an essential role in researching and developing technologies to achieve the objective of near zero emissions from the use of energy worldwide.

The Energy Transformed Flagship is developing clean affordable energy and transport technologies for a sustainable future - the first steps towards a hydrogen economy.

Climate adapted buildings and sustainable cities are the focus of CSIRO research to be presented at the World Sustainable Building Conference (SB08) in Melbourne next week.

Development of the first hybrid battery suitable for storing electricity from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind is now a step closer.

The conference is aimed at gathering together the experts in Asia-Pacific and Australasia who are contributing to the impact of embedded generation, energy efficiency and small scale Renewables from both a technology and policy viewpoint.

The Energy Transformed Flagship's research will accelerate the development and uptake of low emission distributed energy systems in Australia’s energy industry.

CSIRO research is improving our understanding of how the interactions between land and atmosphere can impact on climate, water resources, environmental health and productivity.

We use ESM to determine the impact of potential future events, policies and technology breakthroughs on the uptake of new technologies in electricity generation and road transport.

The Energy Transformed Flagship invites applications for PhD scholarships commencing in early 2009.

This video raises issues surrounding low emission distributed generation systems and how they will challenge our ideas about energy supply and where we generate power. (0:30)

The decisions our developers and planners make today will have profound impacts on the places where we live and work in the future. In this podcast, CSIRO researcher Michael Ambrose talks about the potential the new website yourdevelopment.org has to assist in the building of a greener Australia. (3:12)
