b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g Journey to Endless Power

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g 92% Australia’s electricity comes from coal and gas. We can’t keep using them. Watch

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g Need to change to clean power. Renewables give endless energy.

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g

Business as usual 2° ‘Guardrail’ Limit

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g “The difference between 2° and 4° is human civilisation.”

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g

565 gigatons CO2 in the tank

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g 8% renewables 100% renewables

Intro Slide A plan to repower Australia with 100% renewable energy in 10 years Zero Carbon Australia Stationary Energy Plan

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g Three components to 100% Renewable Energy Concentrated solar thermal power Wind power Upgraded electricity grid

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g Why these three? Technology is ready now – no need to wait for new inventions. Technology that is not expensive – can afford it.

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g

Solar Photo voltaics (PV) Solar panels used on roofs and large arrays. Solar thermal Industrial-scale solar power that replaces power stations.

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g Concentrated Solar Thermal

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g Traditional Power Generation

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g Concentrated Solar Thermal with Storage CENTRAL RECEIVER (TOWER)

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g Concentrated Solar Thermal with salt storage Baseload power – works 24 hours a day. Dispatchable – can ramp up in minutes to meet sudden demand surges.

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g

Australia's renewable energy grid: 2020 Australia’s Renewable Energy Grid 2020 Solar Region Wind region New HVDC line New HVAC line Current lines Zero Carbon Aust Solar, Wind and Grid

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g

Cost? The Australian Government Treasury estimates cost of wholesale electricity in Australia will spend $1.3trillion on oil till Better to invest it in renewables. Business as usual100% renewable $110/MWh$111-$133/MWh

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g

Massive effort 8%  100% renewable electricity will take a massive effort. An energy revolution in your lifetime. 200 solar thermal plants 6,500 wind turbines.

b e y o n d Z E R O e m i s s i o n s. o r g Action > Personal -reduce your coal, oil and gas consumption > System change -support Australia’s energy revolution -watch for solar thermal at Port Augusta
