CSIRO works with various industry sectors to develop improved technologies for sustainable treatment and subsequent disposal of waste as well as techniques for recovering resources from waste materials.
Following the release of the Garnaut Report and mounting community interest in climate change, CSIRO’s Centre for Distributed Energy and Power (CenDEP) and the World Alliance for Decentralised Energy (WADE) have announced they will host a conference on decentralised energy in November.
The conference is aimed at gathering together the experts in Asia-Pacific and Australasia who are contributing to the impact of embedded generation, energy efficiency and small scale Renewables from both a technology and policy viewpoint.
This conference will cover a wide range of technical issues - from how hydrogen is safely produced, stored, transported and utilised to broader topics such as environment, education and regulatory developments.
The Energy Transformed Flagship's research will accelerate the development and uptake of low emission distributed energy systems in Australia’s energy industry.
The combination of modelling expertise, experimentally-based data and CSIRO software is helping to address ventilation and thermal issues in built environments. The technology is producing gains in energy efficiency and the health of indoor environment.
CSIRO has scientific capabilities and skills critical for progress towards the hydrogen economy, which may offer a path to a sustainable energy future for Australia.

The National Solar Energy Centre (NSEC) comprises a high concentration tower solar array that can generate 500 kW of energy, and a low concentration linear array for solar thermal energy as shown in this video. (5:00)
CSIRO’s site at Clayton, Victoria is adjacent to Monash University and the Australian Synchrotron. More than 800 staff members work in energy, resources, forestry, manufacturing, chemicals, health, information, agribusiness and more.
