Climate Change Technology Report

The Minister for Resources and Energy, Martin Ferguson AM MP, today launched the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) report Energy Technology for Climate Change: Accelerating the Technology Response.

The aim of the report is to identify technologies that can most efficiently and effectively reduce Australia's carbon emissions for stationary power generation in both technical and financial terms.

Minister Ferguson noted the Australian Government is already implementing almost all of the Academy's recommendations such as supporting programs like the Renewable Energy Fund, carbon capture and storage, and the development and deployment of new energy technologies.
