It’s a brick house. But how energy efficient?

Around 11.4% of Australia’s emissions can be attributed to households, so we’re tracking home energy efficiency progress through a new data portal.

Eighteen countries showing the way to carbon zero

Reducing emissions doesn't have to conflict with a growing economy, as these 18 developed nations show.

You’ve got the power!: keeping our electricity during a heatwave

Nearly every state has seen temperatures of 35 degrees or above over the past few weeks. How will our electricity grid cope with the pressures of increasingly extreme weather? How do we moderate our energy consumption if there’s a chance power supplies can’t cope with our needs?

How hydrogen power can help us cut emissions, boost exports, and even drive further between refills

Hydrogen has several advantages over other energy carriers, such as batteries. It is a single product that can service multiple markets and, if produced using low- or zero-emissions energy sources, it can help us significantly cut greenhouse emissions.
