Energy section of the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) website.
CSIRO is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and doubling the efficiency of Australia’s future energy generation technologies. This website is a source of information for current sources of energy such as coal, oil and gas as well as renewable energy such as wind and solar. It also features programmes and research associated with the impact of energy developments on air quality, land and water, energy efficiency in vehicles and buildings and so on.

GreenPower is a national accreditation program that sets stringent environmental and reporting standards for renewable energy products. Renewable energy is generated from sources like mini hydro, wind power and biomass which produce no net greenhouse gas emissions. The energy provider for Homes and businesses switched to this plan buys more renewable energy on their behalf.

Website produced by the Australian Government’s Department of the Environment and Heritage, Australian Greenhouse Office.
This website is a joint initiative between the Commonwealth, State and Territory government agencies and provides information on energy efficiency measures such as carefully selecting appliances and equipment which can decrease the amount of power use thus, reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in your home, business or school.
