SUMMARY:ASTE Webinar: Getting to Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Hear from leading experts on Australia’s energy transition to net zero\, its challenges and opportunities\, and what it means for climate change \n\n\n\nGetting to Net Zero – Australia’s energy transition and what it means for the ACT & ATSE\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ACT Division Committee are excited to welcome you to our third hybrid seminar for 2025\, which will explore the topic of Australia’s energy transition towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions. We will hear from three of our ACT Fellows – from a national and ACT perspective\, and in the context of what it means for mitigating climate change. \nDrew Clarke AO FTSE will draw on his deep experiences to describe Australia’s energy transition – the challenges and the opportunities it presents to Australia\, and the role for ATSE and allied learned academies in developing the knowledge\, information and technologies needed to support this energy transition. \nDr Helen Cleugh FTSE will respond to the two energy-focussed presentations from the perspective of what they mean for climate change and its impacts on Australia.

SUMMARY:Why Australia for Grid Scale Energy Storage Investment
DESCRIPTION:With rapid growth in renewable energy and as coal fired power stations leave the power system\, energy storage has become one of the most critical investment needs for the Australian economy. Underpinned by a renewable energy target of 82% by 2030 and a net zero emissions target by 2050\, the business case for energy storage in Australia is uniquely compelling. \nThis industry briefing will include presentations from Austrade\, Aurora Energy Research and Pottinger aimed at storage investors and developers from Asia. Topics will include – government support\, current market trends and practical advice for entering the market with the opportunity to have your questions answered by the experts.
