Скачать или смотреть Australia’s Renewable Energy Boom: How Solar & Wind Are Cutting Emissions

Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions dropped by 2.2% last year, marking the largest annual reduction outside the Covid-19 pandemic. This decline is largely driven by a surge in renewable energy, with solar and wind power now generating over 40% of the country’s electricity. In this video, we explore how this shift is pushing coal-fired power out of the system, the impact of government policies like renewable energy underwriting and home battery subsidies, and the challenges ahead in meeting Australia’s 2030 and 2035 climate targets. We also discuss the ongoing rise in transport emissions and the broader implications for Australia’s energy transition.
