Electric vehicles made up 13% of Australia's car sales last year, helping drop transport emissions by 0.4% while diesel use soared. The federal tax rebate is proving its worth as the country races to catch up with global EV adoption.
Australia's greenhouse gas emissions dropped 1.9% this year, powered by a renewable energy surge that's transforming the nation's electricity grid. Solar and wind are now doing the heavy lifting, slashing pollution from power generation faster than experts predicted.
Australia's first self-loading bulk cargo ship is slashing emissions while moving millions of tons of limestone across the Gulf St. Vincent. The MV Yampu runs on battery power for nearly half its journey and eliminates the need for 300-mile diesel truck routes.
Australia just reported a 2.1% drop in greenhouse gas emissions thanks to solar power, batteries, and electric vehicles transforming the nation's energy grid. The country now sits 24.5% below 2005 pollution levels, proving clean energy works at scale.
Australia's new emissions laws are pushing car companies to sell cleaner vehicles, and most are succeeding. Electric vehicle sales jumped to 12% in just six months while major brands found ways to meet green targets.
Australia is turning agricultural waste and other biomass into clean diesel and jet fuel, tackling both emissions and energy independence. The country imports 50 billion liters of fuel annually, but scientists say homegrown alternatives could power planes, ships, and remote industries within years.
Two major companies just partnered to build shared infrastructure that could help Western Australia's industrial heartland dramatically cut emissions. The offshore storage facility would let multiple factories capture and permanently store carbon dioxide deep underground.
Australian scientists just cracked a 20-year puzzle that's been stumping engineers worldwide: how to eliminate methane pollution from coal mines without burning extra fuel. The breakthrough could slash 15% of Australia's total methane emissions by 2030.
Western Australia's conservation groups are pushing for stronger climate targets after state emissions rose for the third straight year. The push comes as communities and industry leaders call for a clear roadmap to clean energy.
Scientists discovered that Western Australia's vast iron ore deposits can generate hydrogen fuel naturally when magnetite reacts with hot water underground. This breakthrough could transform Australia into a major clean energy exporter while powering jets, ships, and trains without emissions.
Australia just launched a sweeping plan to eliminate shipping emissions by 2050, backed by over a billion dollars in clean fuel funding. The strategy could turn the island nation into a model for decarbonizing one of the world's toughest industries to clean up.
A renewable energy developer just secured a massive investment to build solar farms and battery storage across Australia, creating hundreds of jobs while powering 200,000 homes. The project will cut nearly a million tonnes of carbon emissions every year.
Scientists in South Australia have discovered naturally occurring hydrogen deep underground with 97% purity, offering a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. The state is leading a global exploration boom that could transform how we power industries and cut emissions.
Australia could cut emissions and give families hundreds in annual payments by making fossil fuel companies pay for the damage they cause. A new proposal backed by top economists would collect $35 billion yearly from polluters and compensate households for energy costs.
A major consumer goods company just launched Australia's first commercial electric freight truck service in Sydney. The milestone marks the start of a plan to build a national network of zero-emission trucking by 2031.
A remote copper mine in Queensland will run on Australia's largest off-grid renewable energy system, combining massive solar, battery, and backup power in a 15-year clean energy partnership. Mining companies across the country are racing to slash emissions and costs with similar green power solutions.
Australia just launched a $200 million fund to help companies build and scale up renewable energy technology right at home. The initiative aims to strengthen the country's clean energy supply chain while accelerating its path to net zero emissions.
A new hybrid cargo ship running between South Australia and Adelaide operates on battery power 40% of the time, cutting emissions while carrying limestone for cement production. The vessel can be upgraded to run on 100% electric power in the future.
Australia's largest onshore carbon capture facility has safely stored 2 million tonnes of CO2 in just 18 months, despite two major floods. The milestone shows how cutting-edge technology can help fight climate change while creating a blueprint for other countries.
Food and beverage manufacturers across Australia are slashing emissions and energy costs using tech that's already on the market. One meat processor is now saving nearly half a million dollars annually while cutting over 1,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.
