"Addressing climate change means enduring some economic pain in the early part
of this century to avoid worse outcomes in the long run. But recently the
narrative has shifted from pain to opportunity.

In Australia, there’s much talk of this nation emerging from the net-zero
transition as a clean energy superpower.

But many other countries are also racing to expand their renewable energy
production. This got us wondering: Australia’s renewable resource potential is
vast, but will we actually become the world’s biggest energy exporter?

Analysis by CSIRO examined this question. We found Australia was near the top
of the pack on factors such as the quality of renewable resources. But we are
not the world’s best, and others are nipping at our heels. There’s still much
work to be done."
