Solar Report: First quarter 2022 Solar Report: First quarter 2022

The Australian Energy Council’s latest Solar Report updates on developments in the first quarter. Based on current Clean Energy Regulator (CER) data it shows a marked drop in solar rooftop installations – the lowest level in the comparable quarter in at least the last three years. Regardless of the drop in Q1, solar continues to play a growing role in the grid. The report looks at factors behind the changes as well as state-by-state shifts.

Australia's Energy Future - Decarbonising Transport Australia's Energy Future - Decarbonising Transport

This is one in a series of papers exploring the implications of a 55% by 2035 interim emission reduction target proposed by the AEC. This paper looks at the opportunities for emissions reduction in transport. As with many other emitting activities there are multiple ways to reduce emissions from transport. However, with the ultimate goal of net zero in mind, options that decarbonise the fuel source are preferable in the long-term over options that can only make marginal reductions.
