What Exactly Are Fossil Fuels?
Fossil fuels are formed from decomposed plants and animals that died hundreds of millions of years ago. They are all hydrocarbons – made up of carbon and hydrogen – that resulted in carbon-rich deposits of coal, natural gas and crude oil. Fossil fuels are non-renewable, finite sources that supply around 80 per cent of the world's energy in the form of electricity, heating and transportation. The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from mining, processing and burning fossil fuels are the leading driver of [...]

Why Are Hydrogen Fuel Cells Not Widely Used?
Tasmania will soon become the first Australian state to install hydrogen fuel pumps. These will allow a driver to fill up a car that runs on a hydrogen fuel cell. [...]
Renewable Gas in Australia: A Risk to Net Zero?
Renewable gas has a unique role to play in advancing net zero, and Australia is investing in its future. However, as this fuel has many limitations and dangers, its application [...]
What Is Green Hydrogen Used For?
Green hydrogen is a form of renewable energy and an essential component of the clean energy transition. Unlike natural methane gas, when industries burn it or use it in a [...]
Why Renewable Gas is Not a Climate Solution
Renewable gas, also known as biomethane, is produced by the fermentation of organic matter, such as agriculture and food waste. It can be burnt for energy, much like natural gas, and [...]
Natural Gas Prices in Australia: What Factors Affect Them? (Video)
Using a bunsen burner in science experiments has been a key part of the national curriculum in Australia for generations. However, that is now changing. New schools in Victoria will [...]
Hydrogen From Renewables: Its Best (and Worst) Uses For a Clean Energy Future
Hydrogen from renewables will play a crucial role in the global transition to net zero emissions. Like electricity, hydrogen is an energy carrier that can store, move and deliver energy [...]
Carmichael: Why Should We Stop the Adani Coal Mine
In December 2021, Indian mining giant Adani stated it would export the first load of coal from the Carmichael coal mine. This is eight years behind schedule, partly due to [...]
What Is Photovoltaic Technology?
Photovoltaic technology is key to a more sustainable world. That is because any amount of electricity produced by solar power that replaces coal or gas-fired electricity reduces greenhouse gas emissions. [...]
