1 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

2 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

3 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.

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

6 Business as usual 2° ‘Guardrail’ Limit

7 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.”

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

9 565 gigatons CO2 in the tank

10 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

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

12 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

13 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.

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

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

17 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

18 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

19 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)

20 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.

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

22 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

25 Cost? The Australian Government Treasury estimates cost of wholesale electricity in 2030. Australia will spend $1.3trillion on oil till 2030. Better to invest it in renewables. Business as usual100% renewable $110/MWh$111-$133/MWh

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

27 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.

28 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
