Submission to Joint Standing Committee on Trade and Investment Growth

Abstract

The ANU Energy Change Institute comprises over 300 researchers from the full spectrum of energy disciplines. The Institute currently has a major initiative relevant to the Joint Standing Committee on Trade and Investment, namely, the Zero-Carbon Energy for the Asia Pacific (ZCEAP) Grand Challenge. The ZCEAP Grand Challenge recognises that Australia is a renewable-energy powerhouse and a resource-rich nation, whose immediate neighbours in the Indo-Pacific will account for two-thirds of the world's energy demand growth in the coming decades. It aims to provide research which underpins transformation in the way Australia trades with the world and specifically with the Indo-Pacific – based on renewable energy. Show more
