(Source: The University of Queensland) An immediate investment in multiple energy technologies is vital for meeting carbon abatement targets and building a robust power system, a new study from the Global Change Institute at The University of Queensland has found. A mix of large-scale renewable energy generation, including solar and wind, together with existing coal-fired power, will deliver a power system that best meets Australia's needs for 2035, researcher John Foster said.
