Electrification

The challenge

The project aims to bring together the expertise to find a solution for the complete decarbonisation of the economy through electrification. It also covers the system-level aspects of a fully decarbonised electric power system.

Why this research is valuable

Electrification is the core mechanism of a full decarbonisation of all most sectors:

Residential and commercial (gas to electricity)
Transportation (electric cars)

Research themes

Fossil fuel generation replaced by renewables and the uptake of distributed energy resources

New grid structures
Regulatory and market framework

New fuels: Hydrogen super power

Resource scarcity and recycling
