Australia's Renewable Energy Future

Posted by Big Gav on January 6, 2010 - 8:47am in The Oil Drum: Australia/New Zealand

I'm still waiting to see the forthcoming report on Australia's renewable energy future from the Australian Academy of Science. In the meantime, I came across this series of lectures, which the report will presumably be based on.

[Update: The report has now been released - http://www.science.org.au/reports/documents/AusRenewableEnergyFuture.pdf]

The series includes lectures on :

* The contribution of renewables in Australia’s future energy mix
* Tidal energy
* Wind Energy: How it works and where is it going?
* Solar thermal concentrators: Capturing the sun for large scale power generation and energy export
* Bioenergy options for Australia
* Fuel cells: A real option for base load electricity
* Geothermal energy
* Wave energy: The industry now and in the future
* Solar photovoltaics: Power source for the future?
* A low carbon economy based on renewable energy: The only way to go

These lectures are very educational. I've enjoyed the wave one and the geothermal one so far.
