"Australia’s electricity system is on the road to becoming 100% renewable as
coal-fired power stations close and wind and solar takes their place.
But as a proportion of electricity consumed domestically, it’s on the road to
more than 100% renewable. That’s because renewable power set to be produced in
Australia’s north could be exported in ways such as via subsea cables.
And if we get really serious about bringing down global emissions we will be
doing much, much more.
In a newly-published study carried out as part of a multi-disciplinary team
under the
Zero-Carbon Energy for the Asia-Pacific project we analyse the
potential for Australia to produce and export not only clean energy but also
green value-added commodities, eliminating emissions that would have taken
place elsewhere.
We find there is substantial scope for Australia to use its solar, wind and
land endowments to become a major exporter of green electricity, green
hydrogen, green ammonia, and green metals."
