As Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO is well positioned to support governments, industries and communities through the energy transition.
Science and innovation will be critical in supporting Australia’s transition, which is being driven by new technologies, changing consumer preferences, and efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As we move towards a net-zero emissions future the four key components of the energy sector – electricity, industry, transport and exports – are evolving rapidly. In this dynamic landscape, CSIRO provides reliable, actionable, evidence-based research.
We have developed a suite of factsheets that examine the role key aspects of the system will play in Australia's energy transition, including how CSIRO is helping to overcome associated challenges.
