CSIRO Low Emissions Technology Roadmap

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has developed a Low Emissions Technology Roadmap to inform the 2017 Climate Policy review. The report examines the technology options available to Australia to allow it to meet the emissions commitments undertaken in the 2015 Paris Agreement. The economic opportunities provided by technology options presented are also included.

Four pathways are outlined in the report which details the risks and opportunities of each pathway. Key findings include the identification of mature technologies currently available in the building sector as having the potential to significantly improve energy productivity. The technologies include efficient lighting, heat pumps, improved building envelopes and higher efficiency in appliances and equipment.

The Roadmap will be considered by the Australian Government as part of the Independent REview into the Future Security of the National Electricity Market as well as the 2017 Climate Policies review.
