This is the decisive decade for decarbonisation , and UNSW is uniquely placed to support Australia ’ s charge to net zero . We have one shot to decarbonise in time to avoid catastrophic climate change .
The time for talk is over and we need to act . We are in the race .
UNSW has been a forerunner in energy research and technology development for over three decades . We take a systems approach to the energy transformation , often working in transdisciplinary teams . Whether developing new solar technologies to achieve 30 % efficiency by 2030 , advancing longduration battery storage , or placing people at the centre of energy governance and planning , we are committed to creating a sustainable and equitable energy future . This portfolio seeks to represent the depth and breadth of our expertise and societal impact .
Energy experts at UNSW are focused on three critical challenges : delivering a future grid that can integrate close to 100 % renewables , securing Australia ’ s global position as a renewable energy powerhouse , and supporting a consumer-led energy transformation . By addressing these priorities to decarbonise the energy sector , we will help Australia achieve over 70 % of its emission reduction goals .
Beyond research , we translate our discoveries to achieve societal impact through strategic partnerships with industry , communities , government , and academia . Our world-class facilities allow us to pioneer advancements in energy network , transport , storage , and generation technologies . These innovations support a future where energy is clean , reliable , affordable and equitable for all .
The global energy transformation is a race , but it is not a sprint or even a marathon . It is more like a decathlon . We may not need to win every event , but we must perform consistently across the board to succeed . With a strong foundation across a broad range of energy innovations and a collaborative , cross-sector approach , UNSW is ready and uniquely positioned to lead this effort .
We are chasing the gold medal and invite you to join us .
